All 3 jobs use the same weapon, but only one melees. If a SMN is meleeing, you might as well assume the avatar is also meleeing. RDM loses on just the melee piece, but has more than enough utility to validate the lost damage.

RDM is the bottom of the melee totem pole. BLM, BRD, and SCH don't even come out to play.
