Red Mage Opener confusion

[Gruntler]

I don't even think that's true.

Using:
VS=Verstone, VSr=has Verstone Ready
VF=Verfire, VFr=has Verfire Read
VT=Verthunder, VA=Veraero

The fastest you can possibly get a melee combo is:

VT (procs)/VA (procs) (11/11, VSr+VFr)->VS/VA(procs) (11/31, VSr+VFr)->VF/VT (31/31, VSr)->Verstone/Verthunder (40/41)

This require three procs, and it requires the first three spells to proc.

Acceleration forces the first three to proc.

There is nothing else to question after that. Any scenario that makes you Jolt in this will prevent you from having 40/41. Replacing a VS puts you at 34/44, and replacing a VF puts you at 43/32 at your 8th cast, and holding acceleration to see if neither your first VT or VA proc means your third spell is jolt, so you cannot get 40/40 by 8th gcd in this case, even if you decide to Accelerate regardless of procs.
