Are you suggesting that red mages need melee boosts more than improved enfeebles buffs etc. because you partied with mean people that yelled at you to "haste moar!" when you were doing just fine? or are you saying that they yelled at you because your actually not good at buffing / enfeebling so you want to melee instead?

In a perfect world how exactly would a %5~ DA rate get you into more parties or make events go smoother? Are you suggesting that groups would invite you to melee, and then get another red to haste / cure / enfeeble / refresh everyone etc.?
I think they were just mentioning that because ppl that aby-burn a job don't deal with all that stuff, they stand there and do nothing terribly constructive and suddenly they have a lvl 90 job, then she comes in here telling them in a very attitude-driven, condescending way about certain playstyles and why they are wrong and whatnot.

Furthermore, I don't think Cid/Rayik/whoever else want to melee instead of enfeeble, they just don't want a job that's listed as a jack-of-all-trades to be regulated to a backline buffer, in the same vein as whm or brd...they want to be able to jump in there and be more active. That's my interpretation anyway

I think it's already been said that Temper is going to scale, so it's not just 5% anymore, plus it's just simply a step in the right direction from SE to help rdm out in the melee dept
