BLM - To flare or not to flare, that is the question

[Furio]

I'm sort of new to BLM (Only played for 2 weeks at most)

But here goes...

When convert is on cooldown, is it ideal to use transpose after swiftcast-flare as part of my rotation? For me personally, I feel like it can be a slight dps drop from just Fire I spam.


Also one small question, is it that important to get quelling strike? I notice I get aggro problems during trash mobs. But quelling strike doesn't seem to cut it. (120s Recast for 15s duration)

Quelling strikes is a must once you get decent gear. With raging strikes up you easily break the ~450dps mark. Without quelling it's a guaranteed aggro pull.

Using flare with swiftcast when convert is off cooldown (using it with transpose is a dps loss) is a slight dps increase and only worth doing if you don't need convert for double flare on adds and if you won't need swift cast for dpssing on the move.
