Trivia

• When pictomancer was originally released in patch 7.0, it was approximately a 1% DPS gain to skip casting Thunder in Magenta and cast   Water in Blue instead, as the higher potency of Thunder in Magenta did not outweigh the loss of palette gauge, which was gained from casting Water in Blue. Players have therefore developed unconventional rotations where they clicked off or used a macro to remove the Subtractive Palette or Aetherhues II buffs. This has been acknowledged as unintended by Square Enix, and potencies will be adjusted in patch 7.01 to make this no longer optimal.
