RDM isn't now never was and never will be a front line job anywhere but lol situations like abyssea exp and magian trials just like DRK will never be a back line nuker. This spell may have taken the place of a new enfeeble or something that actually gets RDMs invited to parties over a level 70 WHM. Maybe not idk. Maybe SE had this planned for months but I somehow doubt that. 9/10 people with RDM leveled didn't level it with any intention of ever trying to do damage but we are stuck with a DD RDM spell thanks to a vocal minority or maybe just bad development on SEs part. Who knows, either way it's a disappointment to most of us.
DRK gets a JA that increases both normal attack and magical attack.

Temper doesn't gimp anything on RDM as far as SE have said so your logic is stupid.

As for your 9/10 didn't level it to melee, if they levelled it to only nuke should have levelled BLM, Cure WHM, Buff BRD or COR.... The bonus of RDM is it's multiple jobs of which like it or not melee is one.

Also I'd like your proof of 9/10 didn't level it for such otherwise I call bullshit.
