RDM QoL change: Impact should overwrite the Jolt II hotkey when it procs.

[Kabooa]

What compelling choice? I mean, beyond boolean if(Impactful){Impact}

In situations when you have to melee combo right damn now, Impact offers a way to hit both your Mana pools (Double dipping with jolt, or with Aero/Thunder should one mana be lower but still within the thresh hold)

It is admittedly a rare scenario, but it exists where Impact would be more beneficial than Fire or Stone.

The priority system for Red Mage isn't difficult but it has a fair amount of branches, and Impact is part of that. Because it remains part of this branch, having its own button is fine. The melee combo is just a 123, and it would ultimately save more buttons than Jolt->Impact

The question isn't Impact vs Fire/Thunder it's Impact vs Jolt 2. What situation, if you have impact procced, would you choose jolt 2 over it? Besides, of course, "There's <2 seconds on Impactful".

But so, too, does Jolt II, which is the only alternative of concern here, as that is the one being recommended for replacement.

It's not like we're suggesting that Veraero be replaced with Verstone or Verthunder with Verfire. There is no reason, ever, to use a Jolt II over Impact when Impactful has sufficient duration to get the cast off.

You could just as easily call it Enhanced Jolt, and apply the Impact animation thereupon, and nothing in your range of decisions would change. You will have simply saved a button. That's it.
