Maybe your inaction.

I have always contested that RDM was in a decent place, I could link you to at least a dozen thread I have participated in, started and trolled in. It has always been a viable option to play, however most just tuck tail and sit in the back. I used to melee on kings and sky gods casting Ichi spells, meleeing in Ceremonial daggers. I leveled nearly entirely on melee with the exception of middle levels before colibri came out. (SE helped by adding composure in these levels).

It has been your inaction that has led to your being upset, it is your in action now. RDM/DNC is a perfectly solid option for front line work in all events. (cross thread shenanigans) It is hardly the self sabatoge you claim it is, to lower your personal damage to enhance everyones.



Here's an interesting concept: Some might not enjoy it because it's simply ineffective.
and some might not enjoy it because they tried melee, and didn't like it, and prefer to be a caster. Some might have picked RDM to dabble in everything, and understand because of that we couldn't be stellar at them all(like me!!!!). What is your point.
