[Red Mage] Jolt III's animation is extremely obnoxious

[Pyitoechito]

Jolt III is a single-target filler spell with the potential to be cast every other GCD, with an animation larger than most all of red mage's other AoEs. It's the size of Scorch, but somehow even more blinding because it creates a giant, opaque black sphere. The spell meant to be red mage's weakest filler spell is now the largest, most frustratingly obnoxious and blinding spell in their kit, aside from their limit break (and I feel the need to reiterate that this spell only damages one target).

Please, SE, do something about this blinding mess of a single-target filler spell. Make it smaller, or less opaque, or give the option of using Jolt II's more reasonable animation instead (or something), please.

Providing some comparison shots of Jolt III and Scorch, keeping in mind that Jolt III is a low-damage, single-target filler spell and Scorch is a big-damage, AoE spell exclusive to red mage's burst phase:

They should just rescale it down by at least twice tbh. Would solve the problem.

It's quite sad since the animation of Jolt III as it is now also obstructs the beautiful animations of Veraero III and even more so Verthunder III, while giving the feel of an Aoe which it isn't. Pls SE scale down the animation ....

Tried Jolt III for the 1st time today, it's really annoying. It's a mini LB3, lol.

I like the animation, but agree it's not appropriate for Jolt. It almost feels like they planned to use it for a new finisher ability that got cancelled.

I don't know why they bothered with Jolt III when we could really use and update for stone/fire. There was nothing wrong with the Jolt II animation.
