Not disagreeing with the whole premise, but FlareStar hits 29% harder than FireIV.
I'd hardly call this "very slightly".

Despair hits 9% harder than FireIV, this would be more in line with "slightly".

Everyone has their solution to what is best but something everyone currently agrees on is that Flare Star, when it comes to the single target rotation at the very least, is not a great addition.

It feels clunky, damage doesn't seem good enough for the requirement and many feel we do it too often/redundant with Despair which on the contrario was a very welcomed addition.

Let's hope that the daily "BLM SUCKS HERE'S THE SOLUTION" daily thread will intice them do some serious changes.
