On Red Mage melee...

[Daniel_Hatcher]

If by "Inverse Light" you mean the one with the Additional Effect, why not Mainhand the +Magic Accuracy Shamshir +2 and Offhand the Additional Effect, and use them with Enspells II?

As enamored as I was with a Magic Accuracy Sword at first, though, we aren't exactly lacking in Magic Accuracy nowadays. So you might as well get a Sword that maximizes your physical ability, be it a Lightning-path Accuracy Shamshir +2, some kind of Khanda +2, or a Chant du Cygne weapon.

Go Almace, best looking weapon in game

I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic, because I don't even feel like getting mad now.

By keeping RDM cures to cure iv it will help redefine RDM isnt just a healer role. It does need some sort of boost to be recognised as the enfeebler role that most players seem to over look and a boost to its melee so that RDM who want to melee dont have to justify why they are meleeing in parties. I would like to see some boost to the healing powers as a secondary healer role, maybe give use Regen I -V lol.

I was thinking strictly Magical Accuracy if you were concerned, but no I agree with you fully on that part.

Going Badelaire +2/ Oa 2-4 Khanda +2 until I can get into a VNM/Empy Weapon LS that would accept me going after an Almace.

There is a laundry list of those swords I want though. And I'm really hoping the physical Trial Swords are going to split in name here soon.

And Stat Wise, Almace is the best looking sword in game, at least to me. Aesthetically... eh...

Almace is the single biggest improvement to our melee damage in a long time, plus it is a gorgeous weapon.

[Supersun]

The only thing to keep in mind is when dual wielding the activation rate for the additional effects on the TotM weapons is reduced

This is the truth.

plus it is a gorgeous weapon.

This couldn't be any further from the truth. Unless you're like one of those FFVII fanboys who think that the bigger a sword is, the better it looks.

Really, that sword is so gaudy that if I must get a Swan Song weapon, I'd purposefully forgo the Almace in favor of the Badelaire +2.

[Hyrist]

Yep, that's why I said main hand first. it would be at the expense of enspells, but whatever.

I personally find Almace to be a touch gaudy and broad, especially for RDM to wield, but to each their own. You can't deny the stats, or the WS, for that matter.

I just imagine it's an "H" My character is slashing.

I disliked FFVII. I like the Almace however.

[Stylin]

Personally I like Almace's look except while performing Chant du Cygne. There's just something odd about such a broad sword doing the Z for Zorro.
