Please nerf RDM!

Hm...I guess I'd have to see it happen to understand. Though if this is frequent and rampant, I can see it wreaking some havoc on the logs.

Essentially, the "bug" is that being unbalanced (i.e. |BM-WM|>30) doesn't just halve mana gain it also halves the mana costs of RDM's enchanted weaponskills for whichever of 2 kinds of mana is lower. This allows for discounted melee chains and therefore more melee chains overall over the course of a fight.

I don't know where people came out on the value of seeking to exploit this. I can see that you might want to do it in the opener, but not sure about thereafter.

If you want to have a look at some top parses, the RDM needs to hit some fairly specific mana values to exploit the bug. Off the top of my head, 65-69/96-100 for a discounted Enchanted Riposte and 52-54/98-100 for a discount on Enchanted Zwerchhau as well.
