Seeing Red - A Complete Red Mage Guide

I don't follow this.

Where does the 20 potency difference come from? Why shouldn't you use Impact when the "Impactful" proc is about to drop and the "ready" proc isn't, unless doing so would cause you to (i) cap mana, (ii) become imbalanced, or (iii) waste an opportunity for a proc?

Verstone -> Verthunder -> Impact -> Veraero and Impact -> Verthunder -> Verstone -> Veraero are equivalent outside of specific circumstances (such as, e.g., both "ready" procs being up). It just seems a waste to let "Impactful" drop when there is no opportunity cost to using it.

she is saying its 20 more potency because of the white or black mana it gives. Not sure if the six mana black and white mana is in that line of thought. If i have a fire proc and an impact proc that is about to fall off, ill impact and go for a stone proc, through aero. Two chances at getting a proc at 270 base potency instead of one fire then if it fails to proc, having to lose 30 potency and jolt ii.

So to clarify, if impact is falling off and you only have ONE proc, you may impact to try and get the proc you do not have. If both of your procs are already up, just let impact drop.
