I beg to differ. Racaseal may not have the best ATP stat but they are by far not the worst. Ever see a FOmar with no experience try to solo? It wasn't a pretty sight. IMO there is no "worst" class as every class has their own quirks, so your playstyle is going to be different.
RAcaseal has the second highest HP, best DFP and honestly the rest of her stats are not that bad, especially considering that a few ATP in the end game makes little difference when fightning enemies in Ultimate difficulty.
You say they can't solo. Oh they can solo up to a point effectively, after that they either need a group or need to exercise a lot of caution... but this true of any Android.
Your argument that they specialize in confuse traps makes them bad is invalid. I've become really good at blitzing though groups of enemies, dropping a confuse trap then turning around at the last second and detonating it. You know what? I'd rather have them beating on each other than me... and confuse traps effectively tag everything anyway so I'm not really missing anything. In fact, I've had more luck with my confuse traps than my freeze traps.
You mentioned Vivienne is useless for RAcaseal. I concede that the "Special Attack" on it is useless, but in situations where I have to melee alongside with my partner, I use a Double Saber. It's perfect for dealing with Chaos Bringers, Chaos Sorcerers at close range and Delsabers which annoy the piss out of me.
Alone I decimate relatively effectively sure it takes me 1-2 more hits than a RAcast, but who cares. I made a RAcast, played him for all of 5 minutes and promptly forgot about him. I dislike missing 3 out of every 8 attacks.
Just to clear something up, I personally am Pro RAcaseal, however that is my opinion and my opinion alone. If you can rock out with a RAcast or a RAmar be my guest. Love soloing with a RAmarl? Don't let me stop you. My point is that everyone is going to see things from a different angle... that being said, there is no silver bullet guide to point you to the ultimate class. You can look at the facts and figures all you want, but it all comes down to your experience. I've been playing RAcaseals since the Dreamcast and that's not likely to change just because class balance doesn't give them the highest ATA stat anymore (RAmar for some ungodly reason gets that now). Justice, you've probably been playing RAcasts for just as long. In your experience he's better and I won't argue with you over what's better. My experience tells me that RAcaseals are more fun, and for me at least, the superior ranger class.
