Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

[Mardel]

It will help. As for Firestarter this will help to:
- Avoid loss of consequent procs overwriting
- Plan on using stacks for burst/movement

As for Thundercloud:
- Increase Ice phase DPS drastically to equalize it with Fire phase
- Plan on using stacks for burst/movement

Putting any of these procs off gcd may end up being OP in some situations especially in PvP.

If the procs still have timers then won't they just disappear overtime? Unless you what you want is essentially aetherflow for blm. If this happens then soon people wouldn't want a smn change because killing faster/sooner is always better than later.
If anything they should have changed it so:

1. thundercloud let you use "Burst" (potent strong lightning attack)
2. build fire starters to "Flare" (kind of how warrior wrath works) Not the crappy flare we have now but like a big boom, (not draining the mp pool completely).
3. Freeze should have been an Ice Sheet AoE circle like bard's fire circle. Where each "tick" gave you back some mp and did light damage to the monsters inside.
4. Made scathe a dot of sorts, maybe a baby "Foe Req." 5% extra magic damage on target
5. Apocatasis is an AoE buff around you and just helps negate magic damage in general.
6. Aetherial Manipulation takes you to the target, but decreases the cost of the next spell used in half. (Blm version of Presence of Mind)


Any of these would be a very nice way to change blm. Alternatively they could change it back to 1.23 where thunder was the big single target damage and all fire spells were AoE
