Shadowbringers RDM Wishlist

[Archwizard]

I know it's ShB wishlist, but would anyone be against RDM getting a finisher at level 60 as opposed to getting two nearly identical ones close together? (Verflare and Verholy only have differing mana gains and procs) Can reduce the potencies or trait something if necessary, but could be a nice little quality of life to the job perhaps.

I can see your reasoning, and perhaps we could see something like a placeholder finisher offered early on with a later trait to upgrade it into Verflare or Verholy at their appropriate levels (or even offer both finishers at the same level and push Manafication and every ability after it back 2 levels to fit the placeholder finisher in at 60)...

But at the same time I don't think it's terribly necessary? Each finisher is just another add-on to an otherwise full melee combo, so even for the purposes of quality-of-life, it's hard to say we're really "missing" anything from it early on, just expanding it. It's like how some people were asking earlier in the thread for another finisher for us to use after both Verflare and Verholy have both been used -- adding on to what is, as we look at it now, a complete combo. All we're missing before the collection of the next finisher is potency, and if Mansion is correct, then we're at no particular loss for it early on. Manafication itself likely adds more to the rotation at the point it's introduced than the finisher.

If anything, a third finisher makes more sense than a single one, one that grants a bonus if you combo at equal mana levels (As opposed to currently where you're rewarded from having an imbalance in mana so as to get a guarantee proc from Verflare/Verholy)

... which as I was telling Seraphor before, would still be somewhat redundant. For starters, if we're discussing the two finishers we already have as "a choice", then giving us a third, equally potent option simply serves to create clutter -- and if they're not equally potent, will simply obsolete one or the others.
