The state of DPS and why I both love and hate RDM

[Lelila38]

Not sure what you're getting at here, Embolden increases physical damage dealt by party members that receive the buff.

Are you saying that you raid with 6 other players that benefit from an increase in physical damage? (2 tanks, 3 melee/mch/brd, and an auto-attacking healer?)

Rdm himself has a physical component as well, they do benefit from their own buff. Mine might only be lv66 yet, but I was paying attention to that specifically, since people keep saying all Rdm attacks are magical. The rapier skills, even the enchanted ones, do more dmg when embolden is active (or I had some very serious rng on those moves).

edit: I looked it up and it specifically states increases own dps and physical dps of party members, so it buffs self, melee and tanks. In a group meta where most parties only assign 1 caster slot, that's 6/8. In addition the casters are the ones who got screwed over again, as they lost both, raging strikes and Foe requiem and have effectively nothing left to buff their magic dps.
