This is completely true, for me at least. It isn't so much the buffs, or spells, or anything of the sort that has ever bothered me. My problem will always be the gear options, ever since I saw that Emp gear for RDM was limited to 100% mage stats, I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn't honestly expect it like this. RDM is on some non-All Jobs haste gear, but limited outside of the occasional "mage" gear piece with haste on it like Shedir body or Rubeus Spats it seems. Where as BLU is not the same, it gets access to a wide range of gear, for all types of things, such as Toci's, Athos, and with Neo-Limbus gear. Were RDM open to the same gear as a BLU is I would be perfectly happy where RDM would stand with melee. As I have said before, I would trade my Zelus in for a Oce. Headpiece +1 any day!
