The fact the job itself allowed for that kind of pigeonholing by design is why the job failed. You don't create a generalist, then give them buff abilities while leaving their DPS intact. All that does is invite groups to use that job solely as a buff-whore instead of a hybrid. That's largely why I want a melee class as the base for RDM; that way we don't run into that sort of situation again because the meat of the abilities will be melee abilities.
