I dumped Realmrazer because of S-E's outright refusal to give Paladins any weapon skill that is remotely useful that doesn't require a$$-kissing in a linkshell to build an Empyrean.

If it's the case there's an attack penalty, I might very well have to abandon the WS entirely. That's the major reason I've avoided Requiescat entirely.
Build an LS? Make friends? Farm gil and buy it? Make a WHM mule and solo it? Saying you need an LS to farm an empyrean is sort of sad.
And ya, you need to 5/5 these WS's for them to be any good, and even then, some aren't all that good. So pick 3 and only 3. Then spend your time better gearing those chosen jobs instead of complaining that Jin is better, when it really isn't if you're not inside abyssea, and well, if you're inside abyssea, be happy you have a crit based WS like Jin to use.
