They honestly cant justify giving rdm an A+ / A / A- in sword or dagger skill without raising holy hell from any other respective job.

A+ sword = PLD has been replaced for tanking alot of critical mobs even with shield skill RDM can null a fuck ton of dmg

A- sword = rdms now out DD and out Nuke blue and feed less tp

B+ dagger = dancers would rage and Cor

A- dagger = Thfs would rage

and god forbid

A+ dagger = cor thf dnc would lose there shit

from a realistic balance aspect with en spell and phalanx and fencer they will never give rdm the A level skill it needs to be a mainstay as a melee on the front line.
