    (RDM) Stale rotation?

    Now I`ve skimmed through the posts and see that people have already suggested modifications when it comes to the abilities this class carries. So just gonna apologize before hand if this post seems redundant.

    Suggestions:
    Lower potency on magic abilities give or take the ones that grant balance and to increase the balance gained to grant a fluent bounce between magic and melee.

    Verholy/flare almost feels pointless to decide on which to use after working on building a full balance considering that elements do not play a role in this game and the granted balance doesnt feel rewarding. What I feel verHoly can be used for is a aoe party buff in which can either heal, regen, or even a physical/magic buff depending on what the devs decide that would better for this ability. VerFlare could also be modified to become an aoe granting DOTs among afflicted targets.

    These are the following issues with that:
    ~ people will only ever use one of them. I.e(Trick vs Sneak Attack)
    ~ Rng will cause your rotation to stutter forcing you to do sub optimal play to reach the desired finisher (using jolt 2 to get holy for it's buffs even though you were already above 80)
    ~ Impossible to realistically sync with other raid buffs making it near garbage. i.e (Brotherhood isn't great because of it's 90sec cd but mnk's dps makes up for it)
    ~ Makes it harder to design proper burst phases for a job who already has inconsistent burst phases. if you're not bursting every 60 secs or in some sort of designated interval, you have a hard time being a beneficiary of buffs. Jobs like Healers, RDM and Drk suffer from poor or inconsistent burst phases. Samurai does too but it's raw dps means it's going to put in work without burst phases once it's going full force
