And you're right, it's not just spam Fire I, but our main rotation is incredibly simple in comparison to the other classes, I wish it wasn't, as it gives people a good reason to say why our potential DPS lacks in comparison DRG/MNK/SMN, but it is how it is. The most complex BLM gets is simply understanding the mana tick timings. That's it.
