The Black Mage Rotations

[Malevicton]

Tested F3 > F2 spam > Flare > Transpose > Freeze > repeat, got a general sustain of 170-180 per enemy before counting in that some of that is from F3 on a single target. Definitely a noticeable nerf when you're doing multiple pulls in a dungeon and/or the group's DPS is low regardless so you can't rely on one or two rotations to be enough..

Not home now so I can't test, but isn't transpose a short enough cd to allow f3>fire2 spam> flare> transpose> f3> f2 > flare> transpose? Works whether you get 1 or 2 mana tics (should get 2? 1st after transpose, 2nd while casting f3) so I don't see any need for freeze. Just add an extra f2 if you need to wait on transpose.
Or am I still missing something?

Edit: Discounting SS the combined cast time for f3>f2>flare is 10.5 seconds. so everything works ideally if your first mana tic takes 1.5 seconds. If you got an instant mana tic after transpose, that'd be when you'd want to put an extra f2 into the rotation, otherwise it'd be safe to rush to flare.
