You only need 302 if you cast B1 before casting thunder (so 294+3% = 302)

As for the vid, he did not take in account of 133 MP for F3 coming out from UI3 phase that you get from shitty regen timing. So, you'd need 4251 MP total to be able to do T1 right after B3.

F3 + F5x6 + B3 + T1:

133 + 638*6 + 78 + 212

= 4251 MP (315 PIE = 4254)

======================================

For B1 before Thunder

133 + 638*6 + 78 + 106

= 4143 MP (302 PIE = 4147 MP)

If we use the 302 pie cap and B1 before thunder couldn't we use T2 instead of T1 or is there a reason to still T1 ?

Any rotation with B1 before Thunder means you can use any Thunder (I, II, or III)
