Proposed changes for underperforming jobs

Oh, it is more mobile than ever, even if Enchanted Reprise is nerfed. Two Accelerations, too. But it's still the least mobile mage now thanks to BLM and SMN changes. I feel more mobile on BLM for Barb ex than RDM.

That's true. They did gain mobility and it really sucks for Enchanted Reprise that it's a "last resort button". In general, you can get away from any situation on RDM. There's a few factors to take into.
- BLM did receive nice mobility tools and it is literally on demand so BLMs will use as little as possible to keep everything in their buff window.
- SMN is quite frankly a ranged physical that has 4 casts per minute.
- RDM mobility is slapped on their melee combos, acceleration stacks & swiftcast. All of that mobility can be used to maximize damage.

In a world where RDM currently struggles to do high damage, any RDM player will keep everything for DPS. Acceleration rolling on CD all the time. Using Acceleration/Swiftcast when you have no proc and you don't want to Jolt II. Maybe Fleche or Contre Sixte has 2s left on it's CD and you don't want your oGCD to drift? Need a faster instant cast than dual cast.

The worst imho is the feeling that you absolutely need to saved 3 melee combos for your pot. RDM suffers the exact same curse than RPRs. 2m/8m buff windows. Unless a fight is too short (more than half the fights of this tier) where you'd 0m/6m pot window and the 0 minute pot window feels awful. It's one thing to not have a triple melee combo with your pot. It's another to burn a pot only for 1 melee combo. Death is incredibly more punishing on RDM than SMN/BLM because dying before a big rebuff window means you've lost all those resources you kept for melee combos. You can curse yourself when it's your own fault but it's really frustrating if a team mate caused you to die or a domino effect caused you to die. Imho, that's not very healthy for the job but that's a personal opinion.

Oh, fun fact mainly for melees who don't play casters and RDM in this case, did y'all know every time a RDM is out of instant cast proc and fails to get a proc and must cast Jolt II he loses a bit of black/white mana and 20 potency per cast? That awfully sounds like when a melee is out of TN stacks and may lose 1 positional I like it when melee purists use the positional excuse when some job was RNG they can't do much about.
