Red Mages use Swords and Magic. Blue Mages use Swords and Magic. Paladins use Swords and Magic.
Of the three, only PLD actually has any staff skill.
Why then is RDM on the elemental staff trials when these three should have their own Affinity Swords? I think that this would satisfy a lot of BLUs jealous of not getting on the affinity staves and a good Cure Potency sword could potentially be wonderful for a PLD. And then I don't have to rage because I see RDMs running around with a worthless stick on their backs.

RDM has nothing to do with weapons in this respect and everythign to do with being a mage. Like it or not, even though it has mage in the name in BLU's case, having MP doesn't make you a "mage." And PLD doesn't need any elemental affinity unless it's resistance.

This is why all magians should have been "choose your own augment" deals. Because SE keeps forgetting to hard code armors/weapons that fit what we want.
