Wrong? That's funny, because by most people I know or have ever talked to I am regarded as one of the best RDMs on Phoenix, and have been invited to the top linkshells for that reason, I am doing nothing wrong. The jobs melee damage is simply behind, while its magic side is right where it should be, go pick up a DPS sheet for any job really, put them in optimum gear, then put RDM in optimum gear, you can see the DPS differences easily, and how far behind we are from even the weakest of jobs. Here are some general near optimum sets for you to throw in there real quick for RDM...
TP
Exca/Mand/----/Astr
Zelu/Ranc/Brut/Supp
Kudz/Feas/Raja/Mars
Athe/Pyae/Calm/Ghad
TP-Acc
Exca/Bura/----/Astr
Bend/Ranc/Brut/Supp
Shed/Breg/Raja/Mars
Leta/Dyna/Rube/Ghad
KoR
Exca/Mand/----/Cher
Mori/Lite/Brut/Vulc
Mori/Heaf/Stri/Aqua
Athe/Pros/Rube/Feas
Req
Exca/Mand/----/Orei
Naht/Soil/Brut/Moon
Mori/Bokw/Raja/Aqua
Athe/Soil/Rube/Feas
Let me know if you can get this to come close (around 10% or so) to any jobs optimum DD sets that are posted on the AH.com Forums, inside of their own respective sheets. I will be more than glad if you succeed, if you fail, then you are incorrect in stating RDM would be overpowered with my adjustments, because they are just as easy to test in those sheets and come out with RDM being stronger, but not so much so that its game breaking.
