Personally, I don't see what's so wrong with RDM melee. Sure it's kinda pointless when it comes to maybe big end events, but normal parties? When I was leveling it pre-Aht Urghan, I pretty much melee'd up to 60, until someone finally said no. Yet in that time, I was able to keep up with healing as well as keep the haste/refresh cycle going. I understand the whole don't feed the monster TP deal, but still, it's gonna get fed quickly anyway with 5 people on it, plus pets.
But anyway, yes, the whole attacking through casting is a dumb suggestion. I always time it to cast after each swing whether it be RDM or PLD, even DRG for HB triggers.

I remember having a few RDMs that managed to melee and keep up with normal stuff back in colibri-parties, was actually pretty cool when they managed properly lol
I use to melee in merit parties on whm, and pull. I miss those merit parties sometimes, so laid back that even a mage didn't have to do much to keep the party going.

Yes the game is down the shitter because of abyssea. Lots of that ***abyssea gear you have on there, oh and a masamune, that ***weapon from ***abyssea. You are covered in ***from a ***add on series from a ***game, right?

I personally wouldn't miss any of the gear or empy weapons. I'm sure they could have come up with something different that didn't turn people into gods and didn't make other areas completely empty 99% of the time.
I'm sure there are a few dozen ideas out there that would have been better than abyssea. The game needed something to bring it back to life, and abyssea did help. That doesn't make it the best choice.

I imagine at this point SE has a "boy who cried wolf" mentality when it comes to reading english complaints lately.

I agree with this, although aby was extremely fun, it was so by spiking the enjoyment, leaving people with not much to do and made anything else seem lackluster and slow. It was kind of like crack, people would crush up their transverses stones and live it up for 30-48 mins.

lol, I think I have like 600 or so stones >.> haven't checked in a while.
I bet you could even blame all these stupid suggestions on the basis of aby, give people an inch and then they want a mile.

To be honest, this was an idea in the back of my head specifically for DRKs as a passive trait to further their DPS since their weapons are high delay in nature to begin with, and most don't bother to cast unless the situation and time permits them as casting tends to suffer their melee DPS significantly.
However, an outright elimination of the delay gap between melee and casting is obviously overpowered, but I think a static reduction in percent would be relatively fair and balanced once thoroughly tested.
But alas, it seems RDMs just want something to justify Temper.

I think that if they want DRK to be some caster then this would have helped, but the rest of the jobs would have broke because of it.

Why even respond to such a stupid *** request -_-
It's quite simple really, everyone gets pissed when SE says NO to reasonable requests so now they're only responding to HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE ones.

I think the concept is fair.
But too many people want it to function for their job rather than the ones that really need it, and without limitation which is utterly ridiculous.

only way i can see this being realistic is to have a stance-like ability that will reduce melee/magic speed dmg acc etc but allow casting during attacking
Funny thing is mobs can cast and melee while casting...

The real reason they can't change this is because of BLU. It wouldn't overpower RDM, DRK(loltheirspellssuck), or any of the other jobs. However, it would make BLU even more retardedly powerful.
Yeah I agree. And NIN spells. But they could easily make an exception where you can't melee and cast BLU or NIN spells.
I think this would be a mostly for fun change.
I mean if they did this, how many RDM, BLMs and WHMs would be up there meleeing stuff? Not many.
They could even give drk a job trait that allows them to cast dark magic spells while meleeing. if that route was ever pursued.
when people said attack while casting, im sure most people meant drk only >_<

Suggestions like this are the reason the developers listen to the JP forums instead.
Have you even looked at the buttfuckingly HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE things that the JP come up with? Trust me, that isn't the reason at all.

Anything you see NAs come up with likely has a JP counterpart, or worse. If you thought my cheese sandwich petition was bad, you'd be in some deep ***if you were JP.
Being able to move while casting would have been a much better idea.
Bahamut.Meaikidou said: »
i think it'd be kinda cool to be able to take up to 2 steps while casting... i think due to minor lag, i end up interrupting myself by casting too early(before my character fully stops). i don't think that would be too much to ask.
Then you'd have people spamming the "W" button, to move all they want while casting. Then you'd have people using running bots.
