    1) RDM rotation is much simpler than Bard's. We're not managing multiple dots and song timers simultaneously while keeping an eye on our MP bar as a substitute for a cooldown timer for foe's requiem; there's no buff snapshotting to pay attention to, and beyond timing embolden with trick for the party's gain RDM's burst doesn't line up with the minute-to-minute bursts. I'm saying this as an advocate that RDM has nuances most people underestimate and one that's cleared both Ultimates to boot. Bard has more to pay attention to at any given time than a RDM will.

    2) Most of the party is going to be stacked on the boss' rear a good chunk of the time anyway, so the melee combo doesn't mean much as far as risk goes. That's part of what makes displacement a risk: you're displacing yourself from the party, the mechanics, and the heals.
