Role of BLM

Hmm, you guys make me curious. One of my main is bard, and I always use Requiem to help the mages burst even better. I usually precast Requiem to avoid missing the timing. Starting from the moment the tanks pulled, how long exactly does it take for a blm to cast flares ? I am sure it would save me precious seconds if I could tell when precisely your burst is happening. Also, just for my own knowledge, how efficient is my RF in terms of DPS. In theory, it says "20%" but that´s a bit abstract as I ve no clue of the original damages done.

Please continue to sing as the tank engages; it really sucks when the BRD decides to begin singing when half of my opener is already finished. Early is best for both single-target and AoE situations.

Singing in time with the pull also saves you from having to stop DPS to use your song.

Our brd always signals the start of the fight with the words "Foes up", which signals me to start casting thunder III and tank running in
