Patch 2.3 Notes (Full Release) (07/08/2014)

I noticed this, under resolved issue "An issue wherein thaumaturges and black mages were able to cast multiple fire-based spells under the effect of Umbral Ice I or II."

Does that mean the mp regen trick to cast 2 flares is not possible anymore? That would be kind of a bummer.

I don't know what are you trying to say

[Ryans]

thaumaturges can't cast Flare, so no.

It wasn't just flare that could take advantage of the Umbral Ice I/II extra tick. It was simply timing a fire spell to get a tick of umbral ice after your fire spell went off. So yes, this is about the Flare exploit.

you don't need that to cast 2 or even 3 flares

There are those times where convert and mp potion is down, and if the pull is big enough I found it pretty useful to do.

The Flare spam rotation was not an intended way to do AoE damage. It was already supposed to be fixed for 2.1, but it was still doable.
