RDM is great

[IchiExorz]

I've been playing RDM since SB. Love the class generally and while the EW changes have been a big improvement, I feel like i've grown bored of the job. And I can't quite tell why.
Like sure it's a very simple & basic job to play and doesn't require much thought. But i've lvled SMN and while SMN seems even more simple & easy than RDM, i've kinda been enjoying it.

Either way the RDM changes feel great though.

Also I'm loving the new SFX for Verflare and Scorch. *chef kiss*

Somebody else noticed and mentioned it! SOMEBODY ELSE MENTIONED IT!
I literally stopped in my tracks when I first heard these. They are so well done. Makes the attacks feel impactful and I enjoy building up everything just to hear them.

The new SFX for VerThunder III is also pretty satisfying.

I love the changes to RDM overall, but I really don't like Resolution for the same reason I never really liked Scorch, and that is because it just doesn't FEEL right doing something after Verfloly. Leaping in, melee combo, leaping out and BLAM verfloly...felt like the "mic drop slow motion walk away from an explosion" thing. and now it's "oh and then scorch....oh and then resolution........."

Don't get me wrong, the animations and ESPECIALLY the new sound effects of them are incredible, but they've never felt right rotation wise IMO.

Weird, I actually hate the way RDM plays now. I feel like the change to acceleration was entirely unncessary and I'm at the point where I'm going to just take it off my bar because it's useless to me. It's just a glorified Swiftcast that only works on 3 abilities that you were already only instacasting with dualcast anyway, compound that with the decreased mana generation from all abilties across the board and now we have a hellishly slow ramp-up because we're at the mercy of RNG for Verfire/Verstone procs. I have no idea what the rationale behind it was because the last thing RDM needs is more instacasts when you're already instacasting at least half the time.

You can get back to back to back melee/finisher combos in dungeons if you go into the boss fight with 50/50 mana or greater it’s glorious.

I wish I wasn’t plagued by the sound issue bug so I could here it, might have to go to a target dummy and rotate the camera tomorrow!

I wish the just upgraded scorch instead of adding another finisher on top of it. It feels a bit silly.

Okay but...

BUT...

You can hit the adds on Trial 2 Ex while still hitting your crystal target, despite the adds being across the universe because Resolution has similar range to the ranged limit break and there's been quite a few fights in the past where this would have been amazing to use (like E7S, E8S adds, etc). So there's actually a bit more going on with Verbloosh than just being 'another finisher' without sacrificing anything from the kit.

ShB three stacks acceleration was nice for the opener but after that it was a "guess ill use it" CD
even tho i did SEVEN veraero yesterday and no procs i still prefer new acceleration.
