Ah, but I can given the assumption that you'll just execute as many short rotations as possible rather than the short rotation exclusively. Like I told you, this isn't about casting more Fouls, but about casting fewer Blizzard 4s. The way I see it, the new challenge of playing a black mage is figuring out how to cast the fewest B4s possible, or in other words figuring out how to do as many short rotations and as few long rotations possible.

My experience in 4.0 suggests that a B4 in your opener and a B4 every 90 seconds is sufficient, but I think we'll need a little more than that once the servers come back up because of the cast time decreases and more frequent triplecasts. I'll be surprised if it turns out that you have to B4 on every cycle, though; maybe every other, or one out of three.

I do WANT to B4 every cycle, because that makes the problem of where to place Foul more interesting to solve, but I think that'll take a substantial buff to umbral hearts specifically.
