BLM: Endgame guide and rotations

[Pacifyer]

For AoE rotations, I personally use one from another BLM Rotation thread that I'm having trouble finding but its basically this:

Fire 3 > Fire 2 ... (until around 1000 mp) > Flare > [Transpose > wait 2 seconds after first mp tick > Flare > Fire 2 > Flare >] repeat

I am aware of this rotation and it is a bit better than one I listed in my post DPS-wise. However this rotation has some flaws:
- It is a direct using of a flaw in game coding which will probably be removed at some point
- Many people will fail timing for the first Flare cast and will end up w/o mana until Transpose goes off CD thus losing DPS and blaming me for it.

They already fixed it, I think it will be a long time before the fix it again.

I believed what they fixed was how the spell you cast after switching over would still be under the effect. I.E. you are in UI3 and you cast Fire3 to switch to AF3 but if you immediately cast Fire 3 again, it is fast casted as if you were still under UI3. However, you are right and I'm not sure if that is really a flaw or not but for now it does work wonders.

As for the timing, I agree completely. As for blaming you, thats pretty sad to point the finger at you when they are the ones who mistimed. But you are right, I've had a few times that I mistimed the Flare and I'm left OOM and having to wait a few seconds cause Transpose is on CD. It's a big risk but once you get the rotation going its awesome
