    Speak for yourself.

    While I'm betting they forgot all about the Weapon Skill adjustments they proposed, I'm still waiting on them more eagerly than any enfeebling tweak.

    What I'm saying is if your a RDM who likes to melee chances are you have gotten an Emp or Relic, without them RDM has access to only 1 other good WS, our Mythic WS. So if they were to change it it would be nice, but as of now it would probably make little difference. That being said I would love to see the change as it would help any RDMs who don't have them and are turned away from meleeing due to the general idea RDM can't melee & the fact you are so limited in it without a super weapon.

    Req says hi.

    Due to the gear available to RDM's, Req ends up averaging higher then CDC on anything not 5+ levels above you. The -20% attack really starts to hurt on bigger stuff though. Almace still deals more damage via AM effect even on smaller things.

    So if you don't have an Alamace then you can still build a melee set using STR swords or an Xcal.

    Of course realize we're discussing RDM melee, not something that's going to be done on hard megaboss fights.

    Apoc with both Catastrophe and Entropy gives you crazy sustain of both HP and MP. With the Haste aftermath you can wear a ton of -PDT and solo almost any 75 content.
    Doing damage is for WAR's, DRK is about soloing 75 content yo.....
