I'll say it again,

And we weren't on the bigger DMG Bastard / Scimatar Class swords for a long time
And LOL about RDM and Excal prior to recent Dyna updates. Relics were hard enough to get, most shells won't let you sponsor unless your a leader and definitely not for what they call "lolMeleeRDM". You had to say you were getting it for your "PLD", or be in the leaders back pocket.

Plus Xcal isn't even that good for RDM. If you were going to do a relic it should of been Mandau, evis was our best WS prior to CDC being introduced.

That comment was in reference to Bastard Swords have better DPS then Long Swords, our best Long Sword was Enhancing Sword at Lv 68 DMG:40 Delay 240, vs things like Company Sword or Perdu Hangar. This is all pre 80 / abyssea land. Thankfully we were put on the Sword Magian trials which greatly boosted our melee potential, but again SE could just as easily put us on the dagger ones and called it a day.
