A stark difference from before ShB where the proc rate on the 11/11 enhanced scatter was good enough that I was usually doing the melee AoE combo rather often.

Throwing out the spell AoEs gets monotonous really fast, on top of it feeling completely backwards, and the melee stuff is supposed to break up the monotony. It is not like with the ST combo where you have procs to help alter what you do during your casts as you build up to your melee stuff.

I fully understand that it is less damage, less efficient. Which is why my suggestions remain to increase the mana gain of impact if they are going to keep this backwards AoE rotation. Otherwise I would rather mirror the ST rotation and introduce a couple more AoE spells so that our AoE rotation flows like the ST one. It also would have been nice if they brought over more elements to work with so that our AoE rotation was very visibly distinct from our ST instead of just more lightning and the old WHM Aero 3 animation.
