I mean, it should say something that Eirene Snow, the player who basically wrote the guide on how to play 4.0 SMN, chooses to raid as an RDM. Maybe personal preference? Sure, but somehow I doubt it.

This only really affects serious groups pushing prog undergeared, though. If your group isn't going to see any serious phases on Neo until you're full 340 then I doubt it would matter as much as it does now.
