Here's a freebie, Req is more sensitive to accuracy then CDC is, and that's before accounting for CDC's extra acc from Dex. Also CDC is a +15% crit rate @100, you have a 5% base crit rate and +5% from merits for a flat 25% chance at critting @100TP without taking into account gear or dDex. CDC is three this, four with sub, at least one hit will crit per WS on average, more if you get a decent CDC set.

The game runs on a computer, there is absolutely nothing that is truly random.
Wow I don't know what to tell you. You're freebie is old news and RDM still doesn't have good Crit or Dex support. Further, RDM still has bad accuracy. Further, you can't use belts and gorget to make it up, unlike me. So take your crappy condescending attitude and your lackluster-ly equipped WS and play however you want. I don't care if you never get what you want, because SE has made concessions to us already. You don't want to use Req? Fine.

The funny thing is I'm happy to play RDM exactly as it is and exactly as it's probably going to be with all of 2 grievances. Neither of them look like me pointing at a BLU and asking SE 'why am I not the thing I'm not', since that would be SELF EXPLANATORY AND STUPID. BLU has it better than us, but I don't want to be BLU. Everyone else here seems to want to just copy their winning formula of crappy broken-ness and then whines when SE has no intention of doing what it never had any intention of doing in the first place.

I want (1) Enspells that don't override Additional Affects and updated damage formulas. WHY? Because that's what a FUCKING RDM does. It hits things with FUCKING MAGIC ON IT'S SWORD (or Daggers for the classy folks out there that are into that kind of thing). Make that better and make it support additional affection such as Excalibur and Ephemeron, SINCE THOSE ARE MY PERSONAL GOALS AND WILL MAKE ME HAPPY AS A PLAYER.

(2) Occult Acumen. So DRK, BLM, and SCH can all stop using it poorly and I can make it look good. I'm a mage, so are BLM and SCH. I have elemental nukes, so does DRK. Based on DRK having the lowest tier nukes in the game and the highest tier OA, we should have the 2nd highest OA. Because we should.

That's the actual problem with RDM. It's not that it's not a BLU. It's that it didn't get what a RDM deserved to be good at Melee in a reasonable fashion that resembles RDM.
