I don't know why people keep saying "omg RDM doesn't need anything, they can solo stuff in this game bla bla bla" Yes; RDM did get some cool v2 merits, but when was the last time that job got an update compareable to what now other jobs are getting? Remember even if they can, doesn't mean they don't deserve new stuff. What about those ninjas or monks who solo stuff, i.e Serket(prerage?) and Genbu, not as hard as what some RDMs are capable of, but shall this be taken into action when giving them an update?
IIRC RDM had cure5, regen2 and flash in 2004/05, but they removed that also.
RDM was a strong job in the first place, but seeing as how other jobs get updates, I don't see any problems with RDM getting one to benefith them too.
