BLM Invisible Nerf

BLM is already top dps

i dont think u will have firestarter proc asap, cause server need to receive that you casted fire 1, then send you back the proc, but you re already casting another fire 1

That is the exact same process it takes to change from UI3 to AF3.
The server needs to receive that you casted Fire III and grant you AF3, but you are already casting another Fire I.
Server delay or purposeful 'on impact' design, I don't see one changing without the other.

Blm is far from top dps.

No, SMN is, followed by MNK on single target encounters. BLMs are top DPS only in AOE situations.

OT: This is far worse than predicted. Essentially, its 1-3 seconds of downtime added to every rotation, in addition to the changes to double dipping... while we cant say for sure, this could end up being worth close to 15% overall damage output. For a single nerf, this is utterly substantial, and if it holds up to be true, BLM will actually take a seat at the bottom of the DPS ladder. We will only know when we test it out later.

Dont count on firestarter procs being usable immediately.
