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.
If they gave RDM a somewhat potent Brave & Faith set of spells as we have talked about in the past, it would be great. That could help RDM get the boost in Attack/Acc we miss out on from having to /NIN or /DNC instead of /WAR, also it would give us the ability to not suck in every way next to a BLM or SCH when nuking. I suppose if thats the case, all hope may not be lost.
