    RDM was pretty fine in endwalker due to white / black stance and generally required knowledge, thus why most didn't bother to play this class. Then in dawntrail they changed rdm so it became a braindead class that everyone started to spam. Then they buffed it a lot to make it tanky, insane heals, can't win 1v1 against it and has good burst + CC. This job all it ever got was buffs and buffs. It's still pretty strong, it's just that some other classes got insane buffs so they are once again leading the charge. I am fine with seeing less and less rdm because honestly nobody likes this new rdm. Too much CC, stupid shield and healing potencies. Nah, your class is fine. Seriously you have one of the best mitigation shield.

    Once other classes (if ever) receive nerfs, rdm will once again be "strong". Everybody is tired from shield / heal and cc meta. Square will next patch most probably buff blm again for unknown reasons.
    Can you tell me where the good burst and broken healing potencies are on this job because I have yet to find them. This job has notoriously low damage sync and the healing it gets of Prefulgence is not at all strong compared to other jobs, most of the time it's being sent into overheal anyways on frontliners or just being popped for survival. 1v1 doesn't really matter in CC? Jobs don't kill each other 1v1 in neutral because you can just leave fights, this isn't duelling. Forte is good I agree but it's far from broken, it's a flash mit with a tiny duration that gets broken after 8k potency hits it, it's strongest on big hits as a flash guard, nothing unfair or broken about that at all. The shield you get from your melee combo is only 12k total...that goes up in increments of 4k so it's really not particularly strong either. Again this job doesn't need crazy buffs it just needs tweaking more than anything because parts of the kit feel bad in practice. I assure you this job is nowhere near as broken and absolutely not as braindead as you have led yourself to believe lol, even as a frontliner a RDM is not obnoxious at all to fight by itself. RDM is a little bit of everything but highly diluted master of none. (also of all the jobs you could've listed as broken you put MCH?)
