It may not work for everyone, but personally, I use a monosyllabic word as a counter for the timing. As soon as I see the tick, think/say "one", Flare -> Flare. Once I started doing that, I haven't had any issues getting the quick casts on both every time.

I'm sorry for the confusion, but, to clarify... you're casting B2 > B2 then waiting for a tick of regen... then a monosyllabic word? Then cast Flare > Flare and there will be a MP tick between?

Is there any other series of actions in between mana ticks that we know to be somewhat timed to the MP regeneration tick?

The word is to make sure you get haste on both Flares. Even if you cast as soon as you see the tick, you'll still get both Flares off. but the second one will be a hardcast. You need the slight delay to make sure you get the mana tick later, so that you have mana to cast the second Flare before you are put into AF3.

hmm I see what you mean about getting the two flares off with the UI3 buff, but any tips on ensuring that you get the tick of mana to cast the second flare to begin with ? When I attempt its spotty at best, not the mention it seems sometimes I get that cast time lag with flare like some do when casting f3.
