On Red Mage melee...

[Greatguardian]

My point was simply that I have not, in either population, seen hardly anyone who claims that RDM melee is viable in its current state aside from Doom stand up and actually present himself to parse. Personally I'd be willing to parse against anyone on Cerberus as a non-RDM in a similar situation, if there was a melee Rdm there who wanted to go.

I have a lot more sympathy for people who know that Rdm melee is borderline useless on a relative scale (as in, anyone can beat up some crappy gimps, but comparing good player to good player, etc), and simply want it to be better. I simply don't see the point, personally, as I have no vested interest in the "concept" of magical swordsman.
