BLM Fire II incredibly lack luster

[Taemek]

I am starting to wonder wtf are people smoking these days?

Maximizing your DPS is all about managing your resource, sure I can burst my pants off, then what? OOM!!!!

Also, do people not understand the difference between AoE and Single target DPS?

Try getting 320+ DPS on single target with Blizzard II.....

Let us use the OP's numbers.

320 divide by 3 = 106.6 DPS per mob for Blizzard II.
260 divide by 1 = 260 DPS per mob for Fire/Blizz rotation combo rotation.

Over a period of 10 seconds:

1066 DPS for Blizzard II spam on 3 mobs
2600 DPS for Fire/Blizz combo on single target, hence the only time AoE becomes efficient is when there is more then 5 mobs as smashing down 3 mobs with single target DPS is more efficient and faster then AoEing.

This is not factoring in Thunder ticks or procs and yes while I realize that this is about Fire II being lack luster, the point is, Fire II was never ever anything more then a filler skill until you got Fire III & Firestarter trait at level 44.
