Probably.

I'm imagining the paper-napkin design session where the developers sat down and it didn't go "hey let's buff RDM melee by giving it a line of stat boosting spells and two of those spells will boost melee stats". I imagine it more as "hey let's give RDM a cool line of new spells. Boosting base stats would be cool and useful for a bunch of different tasks and fits their theme of 'doing everything'. Oh and it'll make the melee crowd happy too, so everyone wins.".
