I know what you mean on the Occasionally attacks 2-3 times being nicely suited for physical WSs. But it also makes TPing a breeze. Death Blossom is already a 3 hit WS so you can technically hit 8 attacks without even having an offhand during WS. Is it going to be beat out max damage on CDC though? I don't think it will. I'm pretty sure dual wield and some decent double attack and crit gear is still going to win in max damage and probably is going to win in consistency as well because of how well double attack and crit WSs work out.
If they would adjust the base multiplier for Death Blossom to 2.0 from 1.125 then we could have an actual race on WSs.
It wouldn't fix my discomfort that RDM is part mage and we don't show it when we WS. We don't even get access to any of the good Elemental WSs without picking a sub job. The reason I'm looking for an elemental WS is that physical WSs are inconsistent in their damage. They almost always deal better damage than Elemental WSs because of how poorly most Elemental WSs are designed, but crit and double attack are not factors you can count on outside of aby, even in the best WSs sets for a RDM. If we had a well designed Elemental WS we could rock the house on damage in a way that makes sense for a part mage to do so.
