    The Enchanted version of RDM's melee is magical - not physical. Which means it get no boost from Pierce resistance debuffs. The only "physical" a RDM does is their NORMAL melee skills (That are considered weaponskills) - if they use enchanted, it changes to magic. Considering a RDM will never use their Melee combo unless it is enchanted, all of their dps is magic.

    All of their OGCDs are piercing. Yes, even the flying swords.

    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.
