    because that would also make their most potent skills unnafected by your raid buff. Definitely something that should be fixed
    Most Mudras are magical and so is Holy Spirit. Embolden doesn't affect them.

    Other minor effects are:
    Dragonfire Dive on DRG is magical.
    Multiple DRK skills are magical [Salted earth and Abysmal drain as examples.]
    All of the bards songs are magical (although very very minor in overal damage.)

    This is a huge issue, especially with PLD. Of all the Casters, RDM is at the most disadvantage for synergistic parties. We are locked out of having another caster with us and if Ninja is as powerful as it was last expac, we'll always be helping them much less than they help us. SMN would be a better match. [We also lost 1% of our DPS from losing Piercing up, but we'll have to see how our DPS is this time around at end game. Overall though my concern isn't about our personal DPS so much as our defensive support utility ;-; A reason to watch the party for more than just waiting for someone to die. If we don't get that defensive support, we should surely be neck and neck with SMN in personal DPS after the constraints left on use from physical only Embolden. SMN makes up for its 1% less average DPS buff and 5 seconds less total by allowing the other caster/Healers and itself full use of the Devotion buff. RDM only benefits from its Magical skill use. In STB physical Damage was 20% of our DPS. This number increased with encounters with downtime.]
