well alot of the stuff i listed
has dex or acc like cuch.
and rdm has that sexy Ja Compose (melee accuracy bonus granted is 15)
and it can be recasted b4 the effect wears :0
The limitation of any DD will always be their hit rate, for RDM this is low, higher than any other mage (barring BLU), but compared to and DD or Tank, it is low.
* RDM is 32 accuracy behind PLD from skill alone.
* PLD has awesome TP gear (hands, feet, legs) homam which has 13 more acc than the equalvant Dusk x2 + Nash legs
* PLD has access to 15+ accuracy from the body slot compared to RDMs 12
* PLD requires 0 WS gear to do any damage (but should the choice, have some great vorpral blade gear: heca,aurum) RDM ws gear is limited at best (morrigans is about the best we get)
* PLD gets a higher haste cap (blitz ring)
So at every stage PLD>RDM in terms of accuracy and haste an a RDM.
A RDM rocking all the acc that money can buy and composure, will still parse around 70% hit rate on merit mobs (which any half decent 2 hander will cap on).
Against anything other than EP-DC a RDM will be missing and doing really bad WS damage (if they ever get TP).
PLD WS value is fixed (well based on factors other than STR, ACC etc)
