The Melee Mage

[Theytak]

Actually 1 advantage to RDM. I will say that Resist Petrify does help at times, many times when I have been a RDM/NIN DD on Qilin I have taken Breakga and just brushed it off so I can continue beating the NM down while everyone else is standing around!

People let DD rdms in, but leave pup and bst on the curb? There's something fundamentally wrong about that...

[Karbuncle]

Dat excuse!

So long as the enemy doesn't petrify or sleep, (or horrible AoEs when not considering VW with Fanatics, And with that said, Petrify Screen annuls the Pet requirement in VW.), A good Mage can Melee on most anything... Without risk of Getting raped, Or Failing to keep people a live.

Key Word: Good.

Until someone wants to explain to me how FFXI is hard or TP Feeding is bad, Going to maintain a Melee-Mage set would be fun for the situations, however slim, that they may be useful for.

Though sh*tty Mages who melee instead of doing their job need to gtfo. <3

There's no reason why there can't be useful melee gear for mage classes that don't normally melee. In most cases this gear would only be used in low man situation where its appropriate.

The fact that RDM has been left out off so much melee gear over the years is just sad. And really needs to be corrected.

Yup, and lord almighty they have to be added back to light-armour. Seriously, I'm all for melee gear for both RDM and BLU, but if any job historically was all cloth armour it was BLU.

gear swapping is a ban-able offence, you criminal scum

We need to have every BLM on the game banned immediately then, and RDM as well, and SCH. Probably most DDs, and WHMs, and don't forget BSTs. So I guess just about 90% of the games player base is deserving of bans.

I get jokes

Well I would have seen it as a joke if I had seen anyone in this thread popping out with the normal spew of "Gearswaping is the act of the devil >:O" kind of posts, didn't see any so the sarcasm seemed less likely.

[Plasticleg]

demon, you don't take sarcasm well.

[tyrantsyn]

It could have gone both ways, but the criminal scum line is from Star Wars. Which kind of gives it up.
