BLM Fire II incredibly lack luster

So, most of this thread adequately qualifies as the "dumbest thing I've read on the official forums".

So best case scenario, the B2-F3-Flare rotation is 12% better than the fully ranged F2->Flare rotation, but only in the event that you get both F3 and Flare to cast at half speed.
More likely, only one of the 2 will cast at half speed, but that is still ~4% better than F2->Flare.

I get every single fire aspected spell double dipped from Umbral after F3; I don't even have to try. I play from EU, though, so that might have something to do with it.

Very likely.
