Tier 2 En-Spells Need Reworking

[Carth]

RDMs have been soloing NMs by main handing Joytoy and offhanding Kraken Club or just mainhanding Kraken Club and just letting the enspell do all the work. SE saw that, and didn't want the second tier to be a stronger version of this, but they also didn't want to take this away from RDM, so they made T2 en-spells were it only hits the first attack, but got stronger with each attack afterwards. This was a good move by them.

Except through this they made Enspell IIs a load of junk along with the fact that Enspell IIs calculated per swing instead of per cast. The only benfit Enspell IIs bring is that they don't overwrite Samba effects. What was a "good move" ended up being a waste of time and money for RDMs to work for.

Do RDMs really need to melee at all anymore anyway?

I mean, sure, they can do some decent damage with Almace, but are they a necessity for anything in a group setting?

RDM melee has been a solo event. Does Death Blossom help with sticking enfeebles? Yeah, but when does RDM need help sticking enfeebles now anyway?

In alliance/group/Abyssea related events? It's either a no or "Your Mileage May Vary".

As for low-man/mission/NM events? It's more efficient to melee in most situations.

This is however besides the point. Your analysis on Square doing a "good move" is false.
