Umbral heart does increase the amount of fire 4\\\\\\\\\\\\'s - but remember, F4\\\\\\\\\\\\'s potency is nerfed by 7%.
But we beat old fire 4 potency rotation by casting 5 f4s out of 6 we will have at all times.

Also keep in mind a lot of other jobs got potency nerfs, heavy ones. We are still the heaviest to second heaviest (samurai is up in the air) hitter in the game.


There has been nothing announced so far that gives a speed increase.
Every thing points to the fact we gain GCDs over old blm how is that not a speed increase? Our rotations are also longer and anything from fire 4 number 5 (which beats old f4x3 f1 f4) is a huge gain since our dos phases are longer.

Our opener theoretically has +3 fire f4s over old hws 6 and + 2 over old hws 4.


We are not faster
Crunch the numbers and show me otherwise.

Where are you getting the idea that we are faster from?
