I thought I would hate Blm. I was wrong.

I don't have any secrets as I just hit 80 myself. Just simple math for AoE fights.

At 68+ you can cast two flares with one mana bar. That's 520 potency plus 312 potency for all other enemies for 10,000 mp. With Astral Fire III up (which it should always be and why you throw a Fire III in there after Freeze > Enochian > Thunder IV), that increases by 80% so 936 potency on initial target and 562 potency for other targets for one cast bar.

Just wanna point out, before someone else/better comes along with all the actual numbers, but, evidently, all the maths worked out, you should just avoid that Fire III during AoE. The increased potency of one Flare doesn't make up for the loss of potency using a single target spell.

It comes out to something like 5.08 targets is the breakpoint.

Which is basically not enough to worry about. Hot flare v Cold Flare, the bigger swing is going to be based on TCloud.
