    I'm really disappointed about RDM in 5.0, and I'm getting the same bad feel I felt about 4.0 DRK after the Job Action trailer, and it all turned to be very true to my bad feelings.

    About the new actions:
    Reprise: This skill is disappointing. They should have just changed enchanted riposte to be ranged instead of WASTING a new skill slot with such an underwhelming action.
    Engagement: This is another wasted new skill slot. Should have just changed Displacement to be impossible to fall off the edges.
    Scorth: The only good thing they added, but I feel it could be so much more.

    Now about Veraero and Verthunder: They should have changed the AoE and single target to be the same action, being Aoe by default and turning into their powerfull version when dualcast is active. But instead of using Impact they should have created Verwater and Verblizzard as the new AoE 5s cast time.

    The feeling I had with DRK in 4.0 is that if they had added nothing to 3.0 DRK then it would still be better than the 4.0. RDM 5.0 is the same thing. I find 4.0 RDM better designed.

    I would trade the new actions with:
    Reprise: New AoE finisher for moulinet.
    Engagement: Some new action that have some mechanic with casting Verflare and Verholy. Ex: enable to cast Verflare after Verholy and vice-versa during 20s (to match Embolden), with that we could cast 4 times in the 20s if we use manafication. I would change embolden to not fall of every 4s for the red mage, only for the party members.
    Verthunder: Verblizzard with 5s cast time.
    Veraero: Verwater with 5s cast time.
    Scorth: I don't really know what this action does, so I don't know if it's worth keeping of changing.
