I do see what you mean there, but there's only so many ways you can do 'damage' before they become redundant. Having a melee combo powered by ranged spell slinging is at least somewhat unique. Also take a look at my other comment to Firestar, I do mention in there why I think the melee combo is so linear and simplistic.
Oh, I didn't mean to connote contrary views in posting as I did. My intent was more one of piggie-backing off your text than running counter to it, but as there was that first bit of difference, I lost my shorthand "This!" to denote that fact. My apologies.

Side-note: I had a huge pipedream RDM idea written out before RDM was mentioned as an upcoming job, and it played hugely into the idea of a macrorotationally nuanced spell-sword. I'll have to dig it up sometime and see what I can salvage of it, which may be little since it was built on an idea that Additional Skills would be replaced with, well, something far more integral than Role Skills.
