AE:
B3 --> mana tick --> say monosyllabic word --> Flare --> Flare --> Transpose --> B2 --> B2 --> repeat from mana tick.

Until they patch it anyway.

Doesn't astral fire stacks affect flare? wouldn't it be better to get astral fire before using flare?

I tried doing it this way and few times I got the tick and few times I didn't, is there a way to know when to cast flare?
