    30 gcds are worth 20 Mana (10 white/10 black) = 600.

    The new AoE values would generate 1020 Mana, not 810, correct?

    I know this is in a vacuum and rng will do its thing though.

    I'm at work right now and can't really do the math to model accelerate and impact, and probability of other procs for single target. It would be interesting to see it though if someone has time. It might be worth comparing scatter into veraero/verthunder Mana generation on 3 targets as well, since there is no potency loss that way.

    Edit: Forgot, this would actually be a slight potency increase with changes to aero/thunder.
    Honestly i though about that as well, but remember that at least 50 of the gcds MUST be a normal Scatter, since Enhanced Scatter doesnt proc with itself, and need to start from Scatter so i considered the proc of 30% only on the remaniing 50 gcds. Even with 100% proc rate the max Enhanced Scatter possible on 100 gcds is just 50 not 99

    So i used:

    85 gcd of Scatter= 510 mana
    15 gcd of Enhanced Scatter = 300 mana

    Making a total of 810 mana

    You can have enhanced scatter strings.
