As for the RDM melee side its not the gear thats the problem as much as our skill, I rather see blu have better gear but give us aleast the same amount of skill. As stated in the first post no way are we going to over come BLU in the melee department they have too many tools including self SC to keep themselves ahead of us.

RDM at one point was left behind by SE and they stated its because RDM had become so OP as a solo'er. Part of this was the fact we could do what was considered enough healing for mobs (till level increase/abys nothing truly needed cure 5) if we got that again we would become OP once more in that field. Why again on SCH it gives us a second option to go to when we can't find a WHM for an endgame event but it doesn't allow sch to become OP solo'ers like rdm once was.
