They have neat animations but they're otherwise the equivalent of having to farm ponies to be able to use Fleche and Contre Sixte on RDM.
Worse. The Primal Spells are the blue mages only burst damage and their only real form of single target damage. Without Contre Sixte and Fleche Red Mages at least still have some sustained damage. Blue mages without primals are just sitting there spamming whichever flavor 130 potency spell they prefer and keeping up debuffs.
