Wow from me giving this thread such a negative title (OK may be a bit of a joke at the ffxiv comunities expense) to find people with more passion for RDM that I am.

when I saw the first video of RDM at christmas I was expecting an abilty of switching between melee and casting whenever you wanted. Unless i'm seeing something wrong in the job skills video it seems the spells seem to power up the melee attacks rather than being on an equal footing. its nice to see it being a Ranged Melee rather than a job they would have to break the trinity to bring to light
