BLM Fire II incredibly lack luster

[o3o]

Yup and there is no point in aoe unless the mob is 5 or larger. So we should just send monks to speed run wp instead.

A FC mate and myself spent hours working on AoE rotations for our group's blm's in order to determine what the best AoE rotation was going to be for turn 4. In turn, in 45 seconds we were able to put out 20-24k damage in a matter of 45 seconds with only 1-2k at a bare minimum being single target damage. And this was on 3 level 50 dummies in coerthas.

Guess what, it was a blizzard II combo rotation. Will i get into specifics to share the rotation with you? No. but a blizz 2 rotation is the BEST aoe rotation for a BLM if done properly. Also this was done with no +1 relic and mainly some vanya and darklight gear. NO AF2/Allagan pieces were used while testing this. If there are at least 3 mobs, you should be AoE as a blm, because as long as your tank isn't trash, he'll be able to hold threat, and the mobs will be dead far faster than from single target dps.

If you would like to learn a bit more about the rotation you can send me a tell or a mail in-game to Kyloki Odi'n of Hyperion.

You dont just use fire 2, you use flare, why are you comparing fire 2 to blizzard 2, when the fire2 aoe rotation, includes flare, Blizzard 2, does not.

Actually a competent blizzard II rotation does use flare, gg, learn to play the class and maximize your damage before making yourself sound retarded.

I'm fairly certain you wouldn't use flare while having umbral ice

You sure dont. If you do you're retarded. But you still use flare in a blizzard II rotation, that's why its called a rotation and not blizzard II spam.

The blizzard rotation is simply blizzard II.
You use Fire III to get out of the blizzard rotation.
Meaning you don't use Flare in your blizzard rotation.
No need to be hostile.

Works fine for me in AK, especially paired with Quelling Strikes.

You use flare after fire 3, it gets the speed bonus from UI3, and the damage bonus from AF3, casting a 260 potency (buffed what, 80%?) in 1.7 seconds. then transpose, wait half a sec, and ice 2 x2. so 2 of the GCD are the same as spamming ice 2, 1 is single target, then a spell with 160 more potency than ice 2. you actually have to pay remote attention, but even without taking into account the damage of fire 3, its 60 more potency
