Now that Nexus is out... still a good idea to put piety on Blm Novus or no?

How on earth does it let you be more flexible with your rotation. If anything, T1+B1 is more flexible than T2 because if you get a quick mana tick, you go into Fire phase without B1, if you get a slow tick, you do a B1 (or a scathe if you need to move).

T2 is less DPS, less flexible with movement (due to the longer cast), and less flexible with mana ticks.

Casting Blizzard I drops your dps by as much as standing still not casting anything for almost a full second.

You still have the ability to cast B1 after T2 if you get a slow UI tick, it will just happen much less often.

And while we're at it, higher spell speed doesn't make you get interrupted fewer times, it increases the number of spells you crank out, so you are interrupted a lower percentage of your cast time.

6 fire rotation only takes 369 PIE, that's only a loss of 11 INT and ~10 secondary stats in a party with SCH. Yes, that does include food and novus stat losses.
