    Yeah I've been thinking about that all day. All possible ramifications I can think of:

    - Doing cool F4 X5 openers is probably impossible with Firestarter applying earlier even with pretty crazy SS, it looks like we lost about 1s off our proposed AF time due to that.
    - Looks like AF/UI never "drop," so no more ghetto MP ticks. UI should simultaneously be smoother at times but harder overall, it looks like T1 > B4 might fail possibly for two guaranteed ticks. What this means is we have to be super adaptive, holding our press of F3 at times, or switching to the more expensive T2 which we may not always have MP for anyway. Just speculation, no clue if it will really work out like this.
    - Gained about 1s for any situation where AF/UI mattered due to earlier AF/UI application.
    - No more waiting on AF before we can cast F4 after UI F3. This is more DPS, more Enochian leniency, this is the big buff of all this.

    I do worry that F3 > F4 F4 F4 F4 > B3 will become the standard non-Sharpcast rotation ... I've tried some weirdo rotations in the past to see if F4 F4 F1 F4 F4 is truly supreme. While I think it is, currently, I noticed I had almost identical parses with F1 F4 F4 F4 (Firestarter) when I saw the Lucrezia BLM doing that ghetto rotation and still doing okay; F4 F4 F4 F4 would both be definitively higher DPS and would never cause a problem with MP for T1/T2/B4, and would be easy mode as hell. I sincerely hope that does not become a common rotation but I suspect, with testing, it will be proven as good as or close enough that in practice it may even be optimal a lot of the time ... we'll see.
