I would rather it have a side bonus for them, but a focus of En-Spells is just asking for it to be worthless and weak in my opinion. We really need an En-Spell overhaul to begin with, but that's another story. So far as a RDM AF4 would go I would love melee focus to counter the magic focus that we had in our Empyrean set, En-Spell stats on the side would be cool, but not nearly worth being the focus of the set itself unless you mean something like a set bonus such as Composure and Esto.
    Fair enough. That backpiece is indeed pretty damn horrible.

    I agree that enspells do need a revamp/redesign. My initial reaction would be to have damage be determined in part by enhancing skill and in part by weapon damage, or go the Flametongue Weapon route and have it scale with Attack Power while using the per swing calculations like Enspell IIs do.

    Anyway, since enspells in AF4 would be out of the question, I wouldn't mind something focused on attack power, accuracy and haste.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line.
