No. You can tell this by the fact that it get NO good WS. NO good Job Abilities. Lackluster armor choices. The list goes on. Please don't tell me that it is supposed to be something it's not. That is like arguing that humans are supposed to fly because we built planes, then jumping off a cliff and flapping your arms expecting it to work. Just because you want it to be true, and the statement doesn't sound blatantly false, doesn't make you right.

And btw, I'm not saying this just out of spite for RDM. Mine is level 90, with an Almace and everything needed to bring a strong melee game. I just know it doesn't stand up compared to say... BLU in anything. I can do most of the same debuffs (and more!) on BLU and DD better on BLU than on RDM. What makes my RDM competitive is using staves and nuking stuff down, while tossing buffs/debuffs/cures.

There is no WAR component to a RDM. You are clearly unfamiliar with the job if you think there is. It begs the question: Are you trolling people? Did you just read this forum and side with every idiot that thinks FF1 RDM has something to do with a FFX1? It's a different game. The class is not the same. They didn't intend it to be melee, and it still isn't. The day I see RDM get vorpal/sanguine/ any red proc, I will reconsider the argument, but never until then.
