Seeing Red - A Complete Red Mage Guide

Does anyone agree that Impact seems a little redundant of a skill. Like they only gave it to us to make RDM "a little more complicated". Only 30 more potency and 1 more of each mana than Jolt II, but taking up another hotbar slot. Seems like they could've used that slot for something more fun and impactful to the job (pun intended) rather than what is essentially Jolt III.

I like it. Impact is your second or third choice. A backup after stone and fire procs run dry.

Except it isn't. Its basically empowered jolt 2. If it's up it just takes the place of jolt 2. There's no "choice" about it. Arguing for impact to be a separate skill would be like making every empowered melee skill its own button.

They could actually share the same button and it wouldn't make a difference, right? In the priority list of spells to cast I would always want to cast Impact over Jolt 2, if I was able to and there were no Ver-ready procs available....
