I play RDM semi-frequently; I’ve flexed it in Savage before for groups, but usually not in a very serious context. I think it really could use some potency buffs. I know SE wants to keep its damage down because of the raise utility... but that utility goes away once a group finishes progging a fight, and once the fight is on farm. Buffing Embolden could also help; and maybe changing the way the buff’s decay works. Right now, it’s only worth it to line up important buffs, or to snapshot important buffs (BRD main, here), during Embolden-5. Embolden-2 and Embolden-1 are incredibly weak. I honestly think it would be better, if they wanted to keep the decay design, to just do Embolden-3, Embolden-2, and Embolden-1, and adjust potencies on those three.
