Again. RDMS DPS is 18-20% physical.

About 10% Fleche. 5% Contre Sixte. 2% Corps. 2% Displacement and .5-1% autos. So no, all of their DPS is not magical.

A 5% increase in physical damage results in 1% dps increase. The core reason to change it though is to allow RDM to assist another melee in getting a spot while a BRD/MCH is present. Right now DRG is too important.
