I never really got throwing spells to be our identity but I won't argue against it really. We do however need visual upgrades to Verfire and Verstone (and I still grumble they could've made our AoEs the other two elements to round us out. But now we get a loop of magic rings and roses to corps-a-corps through and that seems a fair trade for the above.
I'm not particularly a fan of of the new effects and how they chose to give multiple classes geometric shapes spells as upgrades this expansion (kinda feels like they made everybody more sage-y?), but I don't care much about the hurling itself, I didn't even notice.
Now for me what really is underwhelming is Resolution itself. Your gauge combo is basically zorro-melee, huge boom, even more huge boom...and then a squiggly line of vines and circles. idk, it would look cool as separate animation, but as culmination of that combo it does feel underwhelming and out of place, imho.
(now, leaving alone the fact that in this expansion for some reason a lot of classes got a line aoe as lvl 90 ability, I'm not even sure anybody has ever liked line aoes at all, nevermind as cap skill).
And this is why we should be able to "glamour" our actions. Don't like new version of spell? Just replace it with the old one.
