We will have to agree to disagree there, i personally prefer vorpal blade over sanguine blade, so losing 28 MAB when im not performing mage duties for 35 attack (which is what attack bonus III offers and is a pretty decent boost) is a great option for someone like me, additionally, having that would solve our curing woes, and allow us to magicburst better. This afterall though is the "overall fixes to RDM" so i have focused on the mage and melee side, looking at the overall picture, not the melee, even if i too am a melee enthusiast. Though i realize i did neglect enfeeble suggestions. I still honestly believe that stances are a great option.

Though i do agree sanguine blade is a great weaponskill and id like to have some fancy special new gimick to solve our problems, a quicker, if a bit crude option isnt entirely bad. Just less tasteful.
