This is an attempt by his, again, to get them to buff rdm's melee.

RDM is a good healer, good nuker, great enfeebler, has a great native selection of enhancing spells that accomodate /sch well.

RDM doesn't the melee bump you keep talking about. For it to melee well enough that it would be worthwhile in a dd's spot, it would have to outdd dnc, nin, thf, bst, blu, etc, and in comparison to many jobs that don't do two aspects well, that is overpowered.
