To the devs!

You're ignorant if you think that just because RDM is a mage with some access to MAB in gear/traits that it would somehow make Elemental weaponskills worth using.

Even if RDM got Cloudsplitter, CDC would shit on it. This is one case where the Devs know what you need a hell of a lot better than you do.

With all due respect, GG, shut up. You say you play a decent COR but somehow you fail to realize where a large portion of your damage is coming from, an Elemental WS. I don't see you complaining about Wildfire, because it is awesome. The people that actually play RDM want something awesome to do with all of their MAB as well.

Wildfire is not Cloudsplitter. Wildfire is the exception, not the rule. Wildfire is the only elemental weaponskill in the entire god damn game that is ever, ever worth using.

Oh yeah, and CdC can handily shit on Wildfire in Per-WS damage with a decent melee at the wheel. Wildfire Corsair is strong because it's Wildfire Corsair and can effectively 1-hit, not because elemental WS are sooper cool.

If you're being destroyed by a Wildfire COR, blame the fact that you're a 1-hand melee with no native offensive traits and crap combat skill swinging with a low D weapon and most likely shit-tier gear and MAcc swords. If a Wildfire Cor is shitting on you, it's probably because they're rocking multiple rolls, a 1-hit build, instant TP/damage JAs that boost WS damage by 15%, and a WS with a 15' range that literally cheats and bypasses typical dStat.
