I'm kinda mixed. On the one hand, I do miss Thunder 3 and the procs, but on the other hand I don't really notice unless I actively think about it. I'm kinda digging the new mostly procless rotation of Blm, though there are a couple things that annoy me (like not being able to fire 4 immediately after Fire 3 and AF3 is set up). I dunno, I have a feeling us ignoring Thundercloud and Thunder spells in general was not intentional as it would seem rather odd if it was and I do expect that they'll do something make it not a dps loss to do.

That or they could ditch Scathe and turn the Thunder spells into a new mobile spell in which we can cast them while moving. Thunder being the cheap and weak spam spell, Thunder 2 being the aoe spell and Thunder 3 being the expensive but super strong spell and give us a trait similar to Firestarter where casting Thunder 1 gives us a chance to cast a free and instant Thunder 3. This way we have a mobile spell and Thunder still has some use to us while not having to find a way to shoehorn it into level 60 rotation.
