A question for RDM players.
Been playing the class since launch, love it so far and want to main it through out Stormblood but I just noticed something that got me wondering.
Verthunder and Veraero both have a potency of 300 but Verfire and Verstone are 270 with no bonus to damage when procced as far as I can tell.
Why would I cast them then when procced? Would that not be a loss in dps? Would it not be better to just cast Veraero and Verthunder and ignore them? Not only that but they only add 9 to the mana gauge where as the first spells add 11. Am I missing something here? Only bonus I can see is about a 100 point difference in MP cost... So when you wanna conserve MP, maybe?
