When that is done though, I could see RDM getting a host of new unique self-only buffs like Temper to mirror those traits of BLU. We might not get a Dual Wield trait, but we could get a Composure-like ability (lasting 2 hours) that gives it or a buff that increases existing Dual Wield (if subbed from NIN or DNC).
Perhaps I'm optimistic here, but maybe that's what Encomium's purpose will be: turn RDM melee in overdrive through the buffs.
I've never heard this as a reason.

I've heard of:

Limited spell slots, much more important to add rubbish such as Gravity II and a million BLU spells that will never get used because SE either break them or put them on 10 second duration timers (exaggeration)

Limited (5~10?) Recast timers on abilities.
