With lvl90 rotation you can fit 2 verholy/flare and 3 scorch and resolutions within the 30 seconds of the pot, pot has to be used after the first verholy/flare at the end of the first melee combo, it's very high risk high reward though, you need to not use manafication before the burst window and also have at least 71 on both mana, so getting killed by anything while carrying that much represents a really high loss, it's usually only done once per savage fight opting to instead use the first pot on the opener (if the fight lasts longer than 8 minutes you can do 2 triple resolution combos in it), ultimates are an entirely different beast though

If you are teaching the general-purpose opener without including the use of a potion, you can omit the last seven inputs, as they are part of the rotation. This might make it easier for some people. However, potion usage in the opener has been very specific for nearly every fight in this expansion, so the general-purpose opener is more suited for training dummy practice. Reference the balance if ever concerned about when to use a pot. Also using fleche and contre sixte earlier in the opener nets you an additional use more often than you think. Gambling for a proc, or doing a jolt isn't gonna hurt your parse unless you have a 99.9% proc rate.

Found this again randomly, bug respect to you actually pronouncing the skill names correctly! Also is there a reason for using manafocation after embolden in the opener? Wouldn’t it be better to use it later in the gcd to try fit in an extra spell?

@CaetsuChaijiCh

10 ай бұрын

Thank you! 😁 Openers are generally designed to make sure the strongest part of your kit lands when everyone is using their raid buffs. This is typically done around 7-8 seconds into a fight. After the double verthunder, your next gcd (which is enchanted riposte after manafication) lands riiight around the 7-8 second mark. Your full melee combo with magic burst takes around 12.7 seconds to perform, so if you delay this combo one gcd longer, then resolution will, when done perfectly, land 0.2 seconds outside raid buffs. At least on paper, as most raid buffs only last 15 seconds! In practice it can also just be beneficial to start your rather long burst slightly sooner. Saving an acceleration for later can also be helpful as it allows you to add an instant spell to adjust your gcd to match with fleche and contre sixte so they come out on time! As long as acceleration isn't sitting on both charges, there is no loss necessarily in sitting on one of them incase you need it! I hope this helps! 😊

Surprisingly, RDM rotation is almost perfectly timed to the millisecond. That being said, as long as you do your opener correctly, you should never come into a situation where you aren't using Fleche or CS on CD. Also, the opener is VERY flexible. Most times, as long as you get either a stone or fire proc, you never need to use SC or Acceleration because your mana is gonna be uneven, which allows you to use your ogcd skills for movement, raising, or when you don't get natural procs. It's also worth mentioning that it's ideal to have your mana within 5-8 of each other at all times unless you can't avoid it.

@CaetsuChaijiCh

Жыл бұрын

That is an interesting point! I assume what you mean is that when played optimally, fleche and contre sixte lines up efficiently with your dual casts naturally, or during a melee combo such that you can adjust accordingly! Or swift cast and acceleration being used for other utility reasons on the regular also helps! The reason I am assuming it is optimized is because a melee combo itself takes an uneven amount of gcds to perform, so either fleche / contre sixte are used during it, or you may need to use acceleration or swift cast to adjust accordingly - but if you only use melee combos in specific timings to match with fleche and contre sixte, this might not be a problem 😊

All of the actions the red mage learns serves a purpose 😊 I see 3 reddish colored spells unused in the short: Enchanted moulinet is an aoe melee combo button and so it is only used with 3 or more targets present. Impact is also an aoe spell, but it is actually useful already on just 2 targets! Enchanted reprise is a very expensive movement utility as it offers you instant damage while running, but it costs white and black mana so it is used sparingly. If you want the more detailed explanations of these actions, they are all explained in the guide mentioned in the video, there is a pinned comment with a link if you are interested 😊

jolt is essentially only used when you don't have a proc - impact, though, you use in place of the black/white spells in aoe! you normally want to avoid casting jolt when you can help it, though, as verfire/veraero do a bit more damage and give a bit more of their respective mana than jolt does.

The strangeness of the opener is in comparison to other jobs, as well as what it looks like to a less experienced red mage 😊 Using two instant cast buffs at once sounds counter intuitive, and casting verthunder three times without even considering using the proc if you get one is also a bit surprising 😊 But you are correct that this isn't some fancy opener, it is just the recommended opener 😁

So why start with verthunder 3 when Jolt is faster? Makes no sense.

Because you cast it before combat starts. This works in a coordinated group where a pulltimer is used to coordinate when the fight begins. In a more casual setting, you won't be given the time to do this though

RDM has always confused me. Not that it's difficult to me, but that the key optimisation is GCD displacement and NOT managing your procs is weird. You just get so many procs from the rotation and if you do double, or even triple, sword combo. You end up being unable not to overwrite procs. And having to overwrite procs because you just get too many makes my brain annoyed. I think i'd like it if RDM's procs happened less often, but instead then dealt more damage for each proc.

@CaetsuChaijiCh

I absolutely agree with this. It feels really weird to me that you could use the melee combos as rng compensation to skip more jolts, but the dps gained from optimizing around raid buffs just overshadow this idea completely! I agree that making the procs worth more would definitely combat this

@@CaetsuChaijiCh I like the concept of the dualcast system and going into the melee combo. The issue is, from level 70 onwards the class does not get ANY real additions to its rotation. It is literally just a buff and continuing to press the same button more times. All the complexity of the class lies from one-off random oGCD's. Which IMO is extremely lazy design. It's SQEX way of quickly adding more things to do without having to come up with something creative or interesting. RDM has 4....1 single target & 1 aoe, (w/ other classes, these usually share the same CD), and then 2 separate CD's w/ 2 stacks repositional skills. If you take away the oGCD's that are pretty much the least interesting skills in the game, all thats left is the extremely simple dualcast system and a 1-2-3-x-x-x melee combo. It just seems like SQEX hasn't had any creative ideas for this class since STB. It's honestly more boring than SMN....

This order makes no sense. Corps à corps is made to CLOSE THE DISTANCE and get in melee range faster. Why would you use it AFTER Redoublement, which means you were ALREADY IN CQC RANGE all the time along while casting all those Verthunder and Veraero? Like you'd get the time to cast all that without getting mauled being so close to the enemy since the start. Devs: "Here, a technique allowing you to instantly cross 25 yalms and enter melee combat." "META" players: "So I'm going to cast every single elemental magick and buff I have from point blank range, melee then use that dashing attack while I'm already sticking to the enemy. Eh? What do you mean, 'the enemy can beat my ass while I cast all of this?'" You cannot do the same thing you do on a dummy that doesn't defend itself against live enemies who will attack you. Not once did I see you use Surecast.

If you are in a raid group, the tank is surely taking the hits for you. In most raid encounters, whether being far away or close to the boss is safer varies from fight to fight - some fights will regularly do a Donut AoE demanding you come up close, other times they will do Circle aoes. But given the sheer size of the melee attack range of bosses these days, you will often be in melee range while still standing outside circle AoEs. The simple fact that you are in melee range doesn't automatically cause the boss to swing at you. If it did, what would be the point of Melee DPS jobs? The reason Corps á Corps is used after Redoublement is because, first off, you won't need it to close the distance: Those ~7.5 seconds where you are instant casting verthunders gives you the opportunity to walk 45 yalms of distance should you wish to do so (Corps á Corps having a 25 yalm range for comparison) The second reason is that while your Embolden buff does not buff your own physical damage (Note that Corps á Corps is a physical attack and not magic), every single other raid buff does (including another Red Mage's Embolden). In other words, we are delaying Corps á Corps to use it during the time frame where it maximizes its damage, which is the point of an opener like this 😊 Finally, while Surecast does prevent spell interruption from damage, it is only under exceptional circumstances this would be necessary to use.

And Corps á Corps *itself* benefits from the raid buffs, so using it to move in close, when you could've done so without spending it, is sort of a waste of potential free extra damage. The area of effect of raid buffs are actually surprisingly large these days, but if you hang out in Narnia for no reason, this is going to cause problems for your team - I go over this in more detail in other videos, but being really far away from enemies does not actually make you any safer than being up close in a boss fight, because boss mechanics could hit anywhere anyway 😊
