The Black Mage Rotations

Nope. I know that there's a ~10% chance when I start my Blizz III that it'll die about the time it lands. As I said, however, I have to risk that because the other 90% of the time, that spellcast is required to be sure the bulb dies in time. There's no miscalculation at all, but rather a calculated risk, that wasn't even a significant risk until 2.3 changed some things.

And, regardless, the bug is significant enough that being aware of it and letting other blms know to watch out for it is worthwhile.

Again, if it's "needed" for your group all your cast to the last blizzard or the bulb sill be hindering your movements you have dps issues, and if that's the case it's better for the sake of the group that you use SC+Flare when bulb is around 40-50% hp even with no transpose or raging strike

I never said there weren't dps issues in my static. In fact, I think I said there are.

And while SC+Flare is an option some of the time, it's not an option every time. You seem to think I'm using Blizzard as my second spell on every bulb that spawns in middle. I'm talking about the times when blizzard III is the only option I really have, other than scathe which'll mess with my transition into Umbral Ice and usually does significantly less damage than Blizzard III. The chance of Blizzard III landing at the worst possible moment and triggering this bug with phase transition is vastly lower than the chance that Scathe will fail to do the amount of damage I need.

As my group's overall DPS improves, it's becoming less of an issue. I still want people to be aware of this bug just in case they run into it so it doesn't catch'em entirely offguard and screw them over at a bad time. I don't know why you're so mad at me for trying to help out with a friendly warning.

Actually, we're arguing about whether or not a fairly significant (though rarely occurring) bug exists. What you said we're arguing about isn't even -remotely- what we're arguing about, so maybe you should look in the mirror before you call anyone else retarded.

I didn't call you or anyone else retarded. I called your argument retarded. It is.

lol this thread and the drg thread

While I thank them for their bumps, I wish arguments would be taken elsewhere. Ah well.

Same with the BLM Damage calculator thread with one of the same individuals. Seems like they are just trolling to cause issues.

Some people just like to argue instead of adding advice they would argue that of others just to make themselves feel better i suppose.
I am fairly certain this thread was to help blm's, especially those newer to the job

Don't get me wrong, healthy debate is one thing. But when people come in to argue for the sake of arguing, it ruins the thread.

[Maero]

Exactly what i mean. This thread should be constructive rather then certain people critisizing others
