Yeah, fitting two fouls is gonna be tight even with the 4.05 rotation. But I believe the best way to do it is placing the first Foul on AF and the second on UI like normal. Thanks to the new Triplecast Cooldown, you'll always have either Sharpcast or Triple up for every AF cycle. Really, this is such a QoL change! Handling AF with be so much easier now. And really, the difference in both rotations is so small like you said that... ugh. Even flat out spamming fire is really close to the optimal way of playing. SE, ploxx! ;-;

And no problem! It's a pleasure to discuss a job I like so much with another enthusiastic.

I think what you're missing here is not that Foul is good, but that Blizzard 4 is bad.

I agree. Blizzard IV is terrible for what little it does. It makes your rotation a hell of a lot tighter and for what? A measly 1 PPS difference? It's still worth using it every time with the new 2.8 cast time but it hardly feels worth the trouble. If you have numbers suggesting the contrary, please do share them.
