hey there, guess what RDM's sword skill was only B or C (before 75 cap raise).
they had enfeebling as the strongest skill and that makes them backline class and you are mad because others are mad you wanted to play as melee RDM? *loses out few brain cells*

MMO isnt about yourself, you can melee with fork for all i care in your own free time, but when you are in party, you have to learn how to not waste anyone's time, you have to know how to maximize/optimize your performance for everyone's sake, when you are in EXP party, everyone wants the best EXP/HOUR.. how does a RDM helps out in maximizing EXP/HOUR? definitely not by melee-ing.

you do know you can enfeeble and melee at the same time right....
i can and have while melee
sub cured
enfeebled
refreshed and kept up refresh on 3-4 magic users (w/o being told)
and kept up my own enchanments. w.o needing much rest. And did side nuking never got hate from it. And just about all my skills stayed capped till lvl60.

I had a melee red mage friend back when I played FFXI in 2004.

I appreciated the extra damage; and he kept refresh up on everyone at all times and wasn't a slacker on healing.

Can't say I remember what enfeeble was though..

Anyway; this was below level 60, and I quit in 2005 because people wanted me to have millions of gil worth of gear or I wouldn't get parties, since I was a paladin. That forest place with the big trees is the last thing I remember where people would kick me because I didn't have the -20%? damage reduction staff. Yes, let's use a staff over a shield.. /sigh

Elitists, hate 'em all.
