The real question is whether or not they plan to change RDM's playstyle.
If they don't plan to change their kit whatsoever, than these guys at the very least need an HP increase.

Fact of the matter is, you need to put out so much work to get your damage snowballing.
> Building up White/Black Mana
> Jumping into melee to do a 3 part melee combo
> walk out to finally get your 3k potency spells?

Seems like so much work when all the other Ranged Roles can rack up damage from a distance with little risk.
