the staple of alot of RDM especially in 11 was the sword, and since the armory system says you need a sword to be a class of GLD and can't be anything else, you're a GLD more than likely. The RDM gets nice spells like 'En' spells which were a very nice concept in 11 but lacked real damage output and most went to the +1 staves (i'm talking 75cap not the 99cap b.s.) Redo it so they can buff nice spells (refresh was nice, but how about haste, or making their 'en' spells be party wide? how about blind, silence, drain, str down, etc. for enfeebling?)

All in all, we can all speculate, but 14 doesn't seem to be focused on the buffs as much as they focus on the straight DPS and "Kill fast", in 14 having some strategy on spell priority on a few classes to really excel would be a nice and welcomed change of pace.
SE said they specifically didn't want haste in the game.
