Rename job trait Fencer

[Kristal]

Could the job trait "Fencer" please be renamed to somelike like "Power Attack" or another less invasive name?

"Fencer" is one of the ingame terms for Red Mage (see RDM-only equipment such as Fencer's Ring and Fencer's Earring), and it's particularly grating that RDM does not even get access to the ability bearing it's own 'pet' title...

lol??

Is this really that important to you?

Or they could simply give the Trait to Red Mage already.

HINT HINT.

It's not even that useful imo, so I could really care less if Rdm got it or not.

Nor would RDM even use it... Who melee's on rdm these days?

I would've preferred getting it over Shield Mastery, personally.

More people than the total number of people who melee on BRD.

If you want a solo melee job lvl PLD, NIN or DNC. RDM sucks at melee. Always has, always will. A crit hit trait would be more useful on any of the 3 jobs I mentioned.

Save melee traits for jobs that actually melee.

Would make it more viable for /WAR tanking RDMs who want to just mess around in the game and actually... you know... have fun. There never really was a time for RDMs to bear sword and shield past level 10. "Fencer" really should have gone to RDM at some level. It's not like it would open the door to us being OP or anything.

Really do hope SE adds some melee potential for RDMs. I'm getting kind of tired of Refresh Haste Refresh Haste Refresh Haste Cure Refresh Haste ...... :/ Our enfeebles are nice, but on some NMs they just won't stick. Because if they did, the battle would be too easy. So what use short of Haste and Refresh and back up curing are RDMs? Looking nice, that's for one thing, but I'd like to look nice in the midst of battle, not in the backlines.

Even if it meant sacrificing the ability to cast Refresh II and Haste, I would use a stance that made RDMs more noticeable as melee mages.

Tanking is dead and /war was never the answer, try again. Fencer is unnecessary solo so once again why does it matter if Rdm has it or not? Fencer doesn't improve our melee potential because it'll be used less than shield mastery is if you were serious about meleeing.

EDIT: /War gives you Fencer anyway so moot point...
