Except if it isn't using magic with the sword it ain't a RDM.
Actually no. Cutlass is more in line with the cavalry saber, except the saber is longer while the cutlass is wider and shorter. Rapiers are used as thrusting weapons while the cutlass and saber are made for cutting. That's two entirely different fighting styles.

Who said it wouldn't also use magic with the sword?

In FFXI rapier type weapons were essentially cutlasses, few of them were actually rapier shaped and those that were, were more of a cross between a rapier and a cutlass than an actual rapier. This is a video game not reality and that is how it was in ffxi. The icon for most rapier based swords were all of the cutlass shape. Also the most rapier like style sword(a fencing sword) category in FFXI were Fluerets, which COR could not use but only RDM and DRG(who never would dare use one). Also cutlass come in a variety ranging from the rapier like style to the scimitar like style. But yes a cutlass even similar to a rapier is heavier make, made for slashing were a rapier is a piercing sword.



Go ahead and keep saying NO cause RDM doesnt use guns. Guess what? BRD neverrr used bows.
