Useless spells

[Protey]

Actually it was me saying I was able to easily melee VT/IT mob, not Demonjustin. And these are mobs in the old areas, who's stats are significantly lower then mobs of the same level in adoulin areas. Also I don't have a parser so I'm just eyeballing my accuracy, it's probably actually somewhere between 65-75% which it's pretty much not acceptable when meleeing in a party.

I personally don't think RDM should get a buff to their shield skill, mostly because I don't see RDM as a tank, though I know it has been used as such in the past but that was usually sub NIN making a shield pretty useless anyway.

As I mentioned in my other thread, I don't want a buff in sword skill solely to increase DD output. I want it because it would slightly change public opinion about what it is acceptable for RDM to do. Yes, RDM can already melee competently in most cases, but as long as their primary weapon skill is so low you will always be laughed at when you try to actually do so. That is what I most want to change.

even with /nin, Beatific Shield +1 is great for tanking. why? AoE stuff.

as for accuracy: even on Ircinraq I have capped accuracy as long as I am getting the same buffs as the other DDs (which I insist on getting; give me mp songs/rolls and I will make your life miserable). Mind you my accuracy set is the best possible there is, but even if other RDM don't have that perfect acc+ set, they can still have a decent hit rate on 99.99% of mobs.

So does this mean I think RDM shouldn't get a boost in sword/dagger skill? No. But, I think it should be a minor upgrade, either B+ or A-
