Wait, how would you melee differently though? En-spells?

See, I'm not one of those people who will say Rdm should NEVER melee. Infact I'll tell Rdm they should melee when the situation calls for it. But the average high lvl exp pt, which everyone *always* seems to use as the situation no matter what the discussion, is not the time for Rdm melee. Especially if it's a TP burn because that extra Smg that a rdm is doing is just not needed.

But there are still plenty of opportunities for a Rdm to bust out the sword and shield and go to town. Assaults, Campaign, some NM and BC fights, small man exp/farming pts, quests and missions etc etc etc. And in those situations, that lower lvl combat skill and weak dmg weapon could actually be useful. Assuming the Rdm is properly geared to do it the right way at least.
