On Red Mage melee...

[Swords]

The whole point is that no RDM, no matter how well geared, will do anywhere near that to none-gimp DDs, if he does that I would change my opinion, but it simply won't happen. My SAM is gimp as heck, and I know I will still beat him by way more then that.

I wasn't naming anyone specific. While you may be willing to change your opinion if your proven wrong, we both know that there are nay-sayers no matter what evidence or proof is thrown at them. It's not just the whole RDM melee thing either, alot of concepts in this game are/were stagnated for the longest time by the same types of people until the majority of the yay-sayers vastly outweighed the nay-sayers, or until SE just flat out told us who was right and who was wrong.

Theoretically speaking, even if Hyrist won matching you or anyone else hit per hit, most probably wouldn't even glance at the data or give RDM any chance anyways.
