I just got off the phone with a SGM and they'll be adding a sword with 1/tick refresh, +10 MAcc/MAB, and +20 Acc/Atk, drops off a level 90 mob that is Bind/Grav resistant but must be DoT solo'd.

Screenshots of the phone call coming soon, slow Photobucket.





















Ok, ok, for serious: I personally don't think that a RDM melee will be in this update, I think it'll come further down the road, maybe in 1-2.

In terms of impact on the community, short of them giving an sword like stated above, it'll be next to nothing. RDM soloing would pick up a bit, which would be really nice in some situations, but in reality RDM melee isn't so looked down upon because it's so bad, it is because backline RDM is borderline broken and is capable of single-handedly impacting a party in ways that a single DD cannot.

Nothing is going to come that will revolutionize RDM gameplay, because if it did, it would destroy balance, cross the streams, and mass asplosions and penis would ensue(and this is coming from possibly the largest proponent of melee RDM on these forums, so don't think these are biased comments).
