Oh I see, I should play another job rather than asking for my job to be fixed.

If you really think RDM will be adjusted in the melee department that way that it can compete with the top-dog Melees, you are delusional and frankly know nothing about balance. There is a reason why BLU can compete with them and RDM cant.
Here we go with the top again, when in the hell did I ask for RDM to be a competitor with the top DDs in the game? Show me where I asked for that once! I want to see it. I have asked for us to fit in with lighter DDs better, not surpass them, but come close enough that our DD power is not seen as a waste of time or space, so we can actually use that side of the job. I really hate when people put words in my posts, and you just did, as I said, not asking for top, or near top, I just want to be less shit.

BLU has to sacrifice alot of its spellslots to get the traits it needs and to set the SJ it needs to come close to them, mostly by sacrificing alot of their self cure/debuff/buff capabilitys.
Do you really think RDM would get a free pass to top-tier melee dmg without it getting stomped somewhere? you would need to lock out half of RDMs spells for that to happen, or otherwise you are looking at a melee&tank that can keep himself alive just fine.
Even if you give RDM access to the same gear as BLU, BLU would be stronger because of those spells and traits, BLU has buff spells for offence as well as powerful enfeebling type spells as well as types of spells RDM has no access to natively at all, like quick stuns, or a cure with Attack bonus on it.

Grow up and think about it logically
I have, I also used sheets to determine the effect this would have on the jobs damage, and it would still be weaker than many other jobs, as I said before, I aim to be in a 3rd place position of Hybrid jobs, above mage jobs and below real Light DDs and Heavy DDs, where we belong, but are not at currently, we are to far behind right now, this gear would put us where we should be at, a slight bonus from a unique DW trait or Brave would go a long way as well.

the only way to fix RDM would be to focus on its backline capabilitys like buffing/debuffing/curing and fixing that. Because that is the only way to go for the Job without breaking it.
Boom, your normal statement that makes no sense because by doing that you do nothing but again, make us a slightly altered SCH, a worthless copy of another job. I explained this earlier this thread I think if you care to go read it, SCH has almost everything better in a full mage department than RDM does and if you enhance RDM to be the same you are doing nothing but making it a copy with some slight alterations. Out magic is fine besides needing some new unique spells in the places where we specialize, our melee has fallen behind, what sets RDM apart from any other job, we are the only mage with access to both sides of magic while having a melee side as well, flaw is that we fail to melee well enough to matter. Fix the melee part and we have a unique ability, ignore it and work on magic and we become nothing but an alternate SCH.
