To the devs!

Id wager SE ignores RDM because every time a discussion comes up it devolves into a dick waving contest about melee. Guess what our melee is pretty decent at the moment, it isn't the best but there are a bunch of jobs who aren't the best, and some of those jobs can only melee. So suck it up.

To the Devs:

You gotta do something here its been about 8 years since you gave us any real attention.

Yes and no.

Buff wise our melee is mostly fine, what we're lacking is gear. We have no body TP piece over level 75, and the rest of our stuff is generic AH stuff that are subpar to what the other light armor class melee's have (BLU/NIN/THF/DNC/PUP/ect..). We're asking to be put on that gear. We don't need the stuff for WAR/PLD/DRK/DRG/SAM/BST. Enspells need a little tweaking due to them not scaling past 75 like they should of.

The debates on melee have more to do with "should a RDM be able to melee" not our actual capacity to melee, regardless of the straw-man arguments the naysayers put up. Some of us feel RDM's should be able to melee in most if not all content, others feel RDM should not melee and instead wield a staff and "support".

There is no doubt from anyone that buffs to all aspects need to happen. Better / more useful enfeebles, better heals and better access to melee gear.
