    Alright, just did a deep scan of the VoD from the Live Letter to catch some glimpses of spell descriptions, bear in mind they specifically said all damage numbers are yet to be adjusted so I'm trying to measure relatively to understand the intent:
    • New Enchanted melee skill, "Reprise": not part of any combo, Enchanting consumes 10 Mana of either type, but the Enchanted version appears to be a ranged attack; unknown at this time what other effects enchanting has, if any
    • New melee CD "Engagement" shares a recast timer with Displacement, doesn't backstep but deals about 25% less damage; note that Corps-a-corps and Displacement still deal damage and otherwise appear unchanged
    • Scatter appears to be done away with, Impact is now a longcast AoE skill instead that generates 3(?) mana of each type and no longer requires Impactful
    • Two new shortcast AoE skills added, confusingly ALSO named Veraero and Verthunder (no name iterations like "II" or anything); each generates 7 mana of their respective types, don't seem to have any further effects (ie no Stone/Fire procs) but appear to be available at fairly low levels like Scatter was (Note that this new "Veraero"'s tooltip claims it does unaspected damage, so call it a WIP)
    • Manafication appears to be some kind of 10 second buff in addition to its ability to double your Mana, although he never moused over it so I couldn't see the buff's effects
    • The single-target Veraero and Verthunder now turn into Verholy and Verflare, respectively, upon completing a melee combo
    • Finishing the combo and casting Verholy turned Jolt II into a new spell called "Scorch", an instant attack ("Verfoul" as it were) which seems to generate 7 mana of each type; Verholy crit for ~40k while Scorch did a standard hit for about 32k, so I would assume Scorch hits harder base? Until proven otherwise I will also assume Verflare procs it too.
    • Verraise still appears to consume 24% of MP, though he didn't mouseover so I can't say if there's any type of CD
    • Enchanted Moulinet cost reduced to 20 Mana of each type, but the new Impact appears to hit a bit harder than it
    • Mana Shift's gone; casters only have 4 role actions: Addle, Lucid Dreaming, Swiftcast and Surecast
      EDIT: Lucid Dreaming has had its CD halved, while Surecast's was quadrupled
    So... good news is our AoE changed at least.

    And here i was thinking that with tank changes i will not rip aggro from half of the tanks anymore... I have a foreboding that it will pose some problems to not have diversion instead of addle XD

    Or is there a new enmity generation reduction skill ?

    Tanks still have free emnity stance, shirk and lucid dreaming is on a 60 second cool down.

    Red mage is still a hot mess comparative to some of the other classes. It feels like they tried to just redo SB RDM instead of expanding it. Its feels like a worse version of its level 70 self.
