These Red Mage openers are horribly inefficient, did you do any math at all to come to these conclusions?
It can be uses as a party buff just fine at the end as several classes have openers that extend past TA going by my raid buff alignments. If you use it early, not only do you not have it up at its strongest for VerHoly/VerFlare and Scorch, but it happens long before any other melee classes uses their big hit moves (like DRG going into LotD within the opener). Reprise is used to manage you black and white gauge so that it doesn't go over 50 before Manafication. I did make a mistake with the VerAero before the Swiftcast as it should be VerThunder and I'm not 100% on the Manafication buff times, but the simple solution is to put it after the second Reprise and double weave it with Corps-a-corps. Just not 100% on if doing so will put you below 40 gauge for one of the two bars depending on VerFire and VerStone procs.

And yeah, I did state that a lot of this is touchy-feely, so I appreciate the feedback!
