At first when I played RDM I did thought that it was 1 of the best magic DPS in the game. Until later down the line, playing savage and whatnot. Testing against SMN, I don't see it as a good job to have be on par in DPS w/ BLM and SMN. It was lacking the upkeep in maintaining their DPS in the long run. Their MP build, they are screwed if they use lucid and ko'd after. That what bothers me overtime playing RDM.
