Please, NEVER nerf RDM!

Do you mind explaining why you use STR melds on your RDM even though it does nothing but increase your auto-attack damage?

Also why do you think RDM's melee combo should get a TP cost reduction, even though you should only use it at 80/80+ mana for the much better damage?

Legitimate questions.

STR does increase the damage of your combo if it isn't enchanted. You aren't meant to use it when it isn't enchanted though. He must really like it.

Which just begs the question of why play RDM if you would rather do melee than spells.

I think Magna has the right of it actually, RDM's melee skills are indeed physical damage but their potency is based on INT rather than STR, not unlike how NIN's melee skills scale of DEX instead of STR.

Which just makes this even more perplexing.

I think you can chalk this up to he has no idea what he's doing, I almost feel like this topic was a trap.

Even more, no RDM's enchanted melee skills are unaspected magic damage. There's no reason at all to consider investing in RDM's physical damage capabilities.
