If you're not enchanting your melee rotation, you're ignoring 9 spells and 2 self-buffs, including essentially our party buff, because it buffs magical damage, which iirc your melee combo only becomes magical damage when it's Enchanted.

OP, there's plenty of ways to play RDM and it's a fun class, but it is not a replacement melee or healer. It's a caster DPS with progressive utility and a play mechanic that mimics a caster/melee motion.
I think he's trolling. I rememer there was one guy who went around claiming that the best RDM rotation utilized the role action Break.
