With that said, I have a stupid question.

I just hit 66 and unlocked Impact and I am struggling to understand its purpose. It seems, to me, to just be another button to press, just for the sake of having another button to press.

And I see no reason why Jolt and Impact couldn't just be on the same button, because the proc rate on Impactful is 100%. I feel like Jolt should just turn into Impact, if anything.

But realistically, I am wondering why Impact even exists as a skill.

Am I missing something here?
Rawrz said it all. It doesn't really need to exist. It's just slightly more potent and gives an extra black and white mana. Just use impact when you don't have a ready proc basically.
