Edit: nevermind, forgot to account for the cost of not generating 11 mana from a Verslowspell. Maths should be fine now.

A Verslowspell is 310 potency, 11 mana, and a 50% chance that your next spell does 20 more potency and generates 3 more mana. Then the expected values for a Verslowspell are 320 potency and 12.5 mana.
Jolt is 250 potency and 6 mana.

In 9.76s (four 2.44s GCDs), your expected output for Jolt/Verfastspell > Verslowspell > Jolt/Verfastspell > Verslowspell is roughly 1140 potency and 37 mana generation.


An Enchanted Redoublement combo takes 10.08s (1.5s+1.5s+2.2s+2.44s+2.44s), spends a net 180 mana, refunds 35 mana, and does 2270 potency.

If we adjust the spellcasting phase for 10.08s, the spellcasting phase generates 38.21 mana and deals 1177.38 potency. The Enchanted Redoublement combo, complete through Scorch, does 1092.62 more potency at a cost of 128.21 mana (generates 180, refunds 35, shorts spellcasting mana generation by 3.21). Then the per-mana potency is 8.52.

A spell that costs 10 mana, does 400 potency, and guarantees a Verfastspell proc has an effective potency of 420 and mana cost of 7. Subtract the 310 potency that you would be doing anyway with a Verslowspell, and that's 110 potency at a cost of 18 mana (spend 10, miss out on generating 11, next spell generates 3 extra), which is a per-mana potency of 6.11.

Spends net 160 mana, unless I'm not considering something. Otherwise it looks like some sound calculations.

I do love talking RDM math though!
