Job Vision: Watch paint dry

[Razushu]

RDM just starts so far behind... It's really embarassing. They are better than BLM or SCH for melee, but I can't even construct a scenario where RDM spells match an avatar's damage.

Why would you try match RDM spells and Avatar damage, when you're talking about melee?

Damage is still damage. Your ignorance of hybrid jobs amazes me, especially since you've asked this question a dozen times.

Damage is still damage.

Is this your excuse as to why melee mage is acceptable?

You of all people shouldn't throw in the word "ignorance." Because your ignorance of TP feed and survivability astounds me.

Yes, SMN is a hybrid job. It is not a specialist job, it is a job to adapt to many situations. Melee is not one of the situations it is supposed to adapt to because there are already many melee jobs out there. Healing is one of the situations, but it is limited by our avatars and BP timers. Unless you come with a subjob that enables healing. But a role of a job should not depend on the subjob choice in the matter.

Yes but damage done from backline or an independant source(pet), just don't count towards melee damage. We're discussing your melee damage not what pets can do.
