This.

Unless RNF provides some form of DWIII by 49 (for a job that specializes in Great Swords...) then it's not going to do more damage then RDM/NIN. I then went forth to explain how much DW increases your damage. Then afterward someone stupidly mentioned that "Enspell II" would be where the damage increase would be, I explained how woefully inadequate they are, in any context. Seeing as RDM/RNF would not have DW, we are needing a 5~6x increase in damage from Enspell II's (150~180 per hit) for it to come anywhere close to a RDM/NIN.

It might have a nifty JA or spell that becomes situational, similar to /PLD and /BLU, but for actual damage it's RDM/NIN or bust right now. Courtesy of barance bros.
