even BLM have leylines that reduce spell casting time it still DOESN'T match the DPS where the RDM is going.
I think they need to reduce the RDM pot to 240 and 260 level (because the dual casting) then we can talk again or simply reduce the proc chance from 50% to 30%.
Although RDM playstyle is right at it should be that's true.
Also Scatter is good enough as it should be.
They tried it at 30% while it was still in development, obviously changed since the mana gauge would charge way too slow. Your math is wrong, jolt 2 is only 240 potency. If you think RDM playstyle is fine now, then you cannot change the proc rate of Stone/Fire since then it would slow way down between burst phases. Don't forget BLM also has a constant 5% magic damage buff, if we speak purely in terms of potency, the two Fire 4's fired off in the same time as Jolt 2 and Aero/Thunder ends up at 546, slightly ahead of RDM.
