    CDC only sucks on RDM because the gear we have to use with it sucks, thats the whole point. SE say RDM is a melee mage then skimp on the melee gear. BLU is a melee mage and their gear options are more balanced than ours are.

You don't have to carry around a bunch of fail DEX gear that is going to clog your inventory because you only use it for WS. CDC is junk on RDM outside of Aby and it always will be.
    My problem isn't so much about CDC. My problem is more about what gear we get overall, simple TP gear we fall behind on. We have much worse gear for TPing than a BLU imo, Oce/Toci's are examples of that, I'm not saying just for CDC. Oce/Toci's is alot of multi-attack & Attack/Acc in a set together that also gives amazing haste. Twilight Belt is a belt with the 2nd most haste in the game for any job outside of MNK, however BLU was put on it, while RDM is left out, not to mention the Double Attack on it which helps as well.

    RDM has all the WS gear they need to put out good WS numbers with Requiescat. Furthermore, we are the best at it. It's a multi-hit WS with a 100% MND modifier. If you're a RDM and you don't use Req already, you need to start. Req was specifically made for us by SE. No one else comes close to us on it because of what we can wear, which is absurd amounts of MND gear. It is 5 hits, with off hand means you have 6 and you can have 2 potential extra swings which are provided by Temper. That's an 8 hit WS waiting to happen, and it happens all the time for me. Wear a Soil Gorget and Belt and jam on as much MND gear as you can find and go to town. It's that simple.
    Yes, req is good, however to use it I need TP, and I need Haste & Multi-hit gear to get it faster, not to mention Accuracy so I can actually hit the mobs, problem is that BLU gets good gear for this while my RDM is left out of the loop.

    If you still love your Almace, please play PLD or BLU if you want to be good with it. You will do much better with it than you will on RDM. SE has no interest in making an Almace RDM the best RDM can be. You use an Excalibur, just like in every other FF game.
    As it has been said before, in other FF games BLU is more of a cloth armor kind of job, and RDM is more on the heavier side between the 2 of them. This game turns that on its head and does it the other way most of the time so I have to say that past games have little relevance in this topic.

    And if you want to use CDC go for it too, but don't expect SE to support it, because they clearly don't. The best you're going to do is spend all of your expansion gear on WS pieces for RDM and waste more inventory space on WS. I get that CDC could be better than Req if we had the gear, but they clearly aren't giving it to us and they did give us a more than viable alternative that saves us a ton of inventory space.
    But what about the TP!?

    Clear way to say it, BLU gets good haste pieces from its AF3+2, Head(6) Body(3) and Legs(4). RDM gets no haste in its AF3+2, alot of mage gear, but 0 Haste. Teal & Pink sets, BLU gets both, RDM gets Teal. Teal is all magic stats, with no melee stats at all, while Pink has haste, STP, Acc, Double Attack, and so on, it has melee stats. A BLU with just this basic gear can actually choose between magic stats and melee stats, RDM can not. This has nothing to do with Crit WSs, or with Almace, or with anything of that sort, it has to do with TPing and just gear in itself. Thaumas, a set with Haste on nearly every piece of it, Fast Cast on its hands, Multi-hits of every kind on its body, yet BLU is on it, while RDM gets the mage gear. Enif, Shedir, & Adhara gear, 3 of the 4 sets from Neo-Legion. The list goes on and on, I shouldn't have to keep saying it. The point I am trying to make is not that BLU has tons of gear for WS, its that it has a ton of gear for melee in general! It has alot for magic as well, but its melee gear is the thing that annoys me and that I want to have, rather than 1 hybrid getting lovely amazing melee gear while the other gets scraps.

    TL;DR You get to hit things with Galaxies. It's a no-brainer.
    In other words you missed what I am wanting and what my point was. I would like WS gear yes, but thats not the main thing I even want. RDM has alot of ways to get to capped haste, but alot of pieces have alot of worthless stats on them as well. Shedir body is good for melee but you cant help but notice the magic stats on it that could otherwise be Double Attack or STP and make it over all better, while bodies for BLU exist with those stats! You are right so far as WSs go, but so far as TP gear... no.

    I don't care about teal and pink because everyone got past that. It's the end for RDM that matters and our end TPing sets don't suck.

    The set I posted is 15 hits between WSs. It is +107 attack, +20 STR, +5 sword skill, +35 accuracy, and 22 Store TP.

    You seem to only see what we don't have and neglect what we do. RDM has options, options most RDM will never actually try out because it's too hard or some other pathetic excuse. If you like what BLU has so much, you should just go play BLU. RDM isn't going to be a top tier DD, ever. It's going to be good with the best gear they can get. You will never rival 2H DD damage. If I have to explain why, then you don't know RDM, much less a lot of other things in this game.

    Our TP set is good, not the best. Our Req Set is the best in the game. Our CDC set is poor. In essence, our melee is fine, so long as we get decent gear updates. Funny things about your beloved BLU, it's on the same Salvage gear as RDM, so SE is going to have to get extremely discriminatory to stop us from getting the same melee benefits as BLU. They might get better magic benefits from the set, but that's about it.

    Whatever, pointless talking to either of you I guess. I know the gear for RDM, I have built good sets for RDM, and I have been after similar gear for RDM, but that doesn't mean I cant still find it stupid that the other Hybrid-mage has access to all of this gear, and alot of RDM's gear, while we get little in the same manor. But as I said, its pointless, you have the mind set that RDM is good as it is, well, its ok, I said that, I still think it could do better and that it should be treated as the other is in terms of alot of gear. Being past Teal & Pink, we are in some ways and not in others, its the same ideal passed down to other gear sets like Shedir, where RDM gets 1 part of it, but BLU gets RDM's part, and another that RDM doesn't get.

    As for wanting to play BLU, no I actually hate BLU, I use it as a proc job for VW parties, thats about the extent I leveled the job for. I play RDM because I like the job, I just hate the idea of the other job getting more than it does when they should be close to the same, the main power BLU should get in being different is their spells, which they are vastly different in my opinion.

    Now that's a new level of.....

    Asking for better gear choices != Want to play as BLU. It makes more sense for RDM to get certain (light) armour than BLU who have since first entry into the realm of FF have only been able to wear CLOTH.

    Until the end of time I'll never understand why people that only play other jobs enter a thread, and post a message just to ultimately troll, it's sad, along with pathetic.

    Just because RDM`s want to boost their melee potential doesn't mean they want to emulate BLU. BLU gear choices are balanced between their melee and mage side they have good choices for both sides, RDM doesn't. All we're asking for is a little more consistency in gear choices. They gave us a sword with very little gear to take advantage of it, SE stated before the empyrean armour was introduced that they wanted RDM to able to support the party from the front lines then went and slapped mage only stats on their AF3.

    And why is it every time someone mentions RDM melee people always throw the "you`ll never be in the same class as 2-handers" I think this is pretty damn obvious, that isn't what we're asking for, the gap between melee/mage hybrid classes is way too big, we just want that gap closed slightly.

    Lol I have more of a complaint against schs access to mab, than rdm does about hitting things on par with dd. Deal with it. Or yeah retire the rdm and play a job that makes you happy. U trollin your own argument to oblivion. More gear for rdm to dd= zomg rdm again, and it took 24 levels to get others on par or where they should have been. Blu overpowered, but rdm dd/melee fine WHEN they're supposed to... read:not doing anything important otherwise "hey rdm!! Where's my refresh/haste/phalanx sucka fish. And that is just the way it is. You wanna dd... I wanna one shot level 85 nms, want in one hand.......

    This has little to no relevance to the topic at hand. This is to do with improving RDM, not SCH, or a reason why "because you said so" RDM should not be improved.

    Neither does any of jealousy over Blu, you made your case for us to,read, and comment on, your just refusing to hear what were saying, ....group thinkish... You made up your mind, but to few that don't see eye to eye with you, "you just don't understand", I'm starting to think its you who don't... S.e strives for balance in an unbalancable world..... What you want pees all over alot of other jobs.... You want to kill stuff faster. Rdm doesn't do that.
