If you want to stand back and cycle buffs go level BRD.

if you want to stand on the front go lvl a melee job. if you want a melee/mage hybrid job go lvl BLU.

RDM is built as a backline job, from the grounds up (it has some frontline capabilitys but they are weak compared to real jobs on the frontline)

BLU is built as a frontline job, from teh grounds up (it has some backline capabilitys but they are weak compared to real jobs that are on the backline)


You would need WAY more changes to make RDM even competitiv on the frontline. You can however easier fix the backline flaws of the RDM. I am just trying to help, if the RDM community wants to go this melee route down like the last 5 years so be it (look where it got you). Castrate yourself and neglect your job from ever being very usefull again in any spot of the ally/PT.

hell even SMN has more uses atm then RDM and we all know how shitty SMN is.

Put RDM on the light DD gear that BLU gets, give RDM a spell, Brave, self cast only with +20% Attack/Accuracy or a trait for Dual Wield that only works while main-handing a sword and off-handing a dagger. RDM melee is instantly fixed.

If my use in a party is cycling a few buffs while throwing out a couple cures or nukes here and there then I would rather go a different job, I reserve that duty to a SCH, as it is built for it better than RDM is in my opinion as it is in fact a fully mage job with almost no melee qualities. RDM on the other hand should have some front line use, otherwise it becomes a SCH clone with slight alterations in a few features, not the job I care to play.
