Mana Regen Rotation as BLM

[Alkimi]

Actually, I feel the easiest optimal rotation would be something like : fire 3 > fire phase until 600-900 hp > blizzard 3 > thunder 3 > fire 3

There's still a lot of debate about the use of thunder spells. Personally I use Thunder 1 in my rotation, since I spam through my rotation so fast that it's usually just worn off by the time I cast it again and Fire 3 usually goes off just as my MP has regened to full. Some people perfer the Tier 2 version, but I think most agree Thunder 3 just takes too long to cast and a lot of the time you'll be overwriting the same spell when it still has a good amount of time on it.

Yea you definitely don't want to be doing 3. I do 2 because it usually fits my rotation perfect but I've been thinking about trying 1 to see how it feels.
