SEE WHAT YOU DID?!
This topic was hell about "I'm bored when I use scatter" and now we have AoE re-design that stripped us off Impact.
"You brought this up on yourself" as Seiryu would say. ;D

Joke aside, that's my MAIN problem with what I've seen from RDM kit : the loss of Impact (even if Jolt II is buffed, it's still 20 less in potency than VerFire/VerStone). So unless Acceleration gets a buff to milk more VerFire/VerStone, I'm a bit sad.
Scorch is alright. Not interesting
I don't get the point of Engagement, when Displacement is still stronger. Now I'm trying to think, but apart from the Fire phase in O9S, and unlucky tail slams on Shinryu, there's no fight that make it impossible to use Displacement. It's scary on Suzaku, but you can make it.
The ranged Mana spender... 300 pot for 10 mana, I'm not sure I see the point apart from bieng some kind of Scathe ability. If a mechanic forces you to move, you have slide-cast the first spell, dual cast the second, (Swiftcast the third) and you still need to move, yeah maybe.

Anyway, I'm rambling about that but we'll get more info tomorrow so I should probably take it easy.

I'm really happy we did not get any healing ability/support though.
