I think they need to rethink the AoE a bit - it just seems like they didn't think about pre-50 at all. Also, if the AoE is too low even at 70, there is plenty of content that people will avoid including RDM for. The class looks really fun, and I don't mind a simple AoE, as long as it is decent. In this case, it looks like it will be worst in the game by a pretty solid margin.
