    This would be a damage loss because it's one less Dualcast that gets used on a Verslowspell. It wastes Impact and puts you in a worse position by leaving you with Jolt.

    Jolt->Impact->Verslowspell = (240+270+310) potency / (3 GCD) = 273 potency/GCD
    Jolt->Verslowspell->Impact->Verslowspell = (240+310+270+310 potency / (4 GCD) = 282 potency/GCD

    And
    Swiftcast Impact->Verslowspell = (270+310) potency / (2 GCD) = 290 potency/GCD
    Swiftcast Verslowspell = 310 potency/GCD

    It's to address their mobility issue.

    Oh, that makes more sense, but I'd still just swiftcast a verslowspell on the run.

    Not always up. This allows them to extend a Dualcast chain if required, or, in events like Pantokrator two, at least keep something going even if it's not ideal.
