No one wants a DoT (something that works best under raid buffs) to be unavailable up front. Even less people want a dot that's unavailable up front and also unavailable under raidbuffs. Literally no one wants one that is unavailable up front, unavailable under raidbuffs, and will always be unaligned with raid buffs.

Verblizzard and Verwater are just pretty Melee-accelerating Contre Sixtes and would just get used like that, with them being blapped out as Verblizzard->Veraero->Verwater->Verthunder or similar thing without actually using them to fix mana or anything like that. Which, I mean, is fine, but it's adding two extra buttons for no actual game play outside of 'just melee more.'

RDM has very little room for more abilities in its opener.

No one wants a trick attack that doesn't align with 60/120.

The entire thing reads like taking every bad idea suggested for RDM over Shadowbringers and mashing them together, bloating the FUCK out of RDM buttons, and then calling it good despite having a suggested rotation that's kinda scuffed and antithetical to the stated roles of the job by making it worse at synergizing with the party, rather than better.

Fan fiction rotations often commit all these sins and I'm glad they took the route of making things more playable rather than making things more Heavenswardbloat for the sake of Heavenswardbloat.
