- Fire III > Fire III for burst situations, and there's been argument it was a superior rotation depending on your Piety amount from gear.
- Fire III > Flare for ultimate burst when we are done the fight or need something dead within the next GCD
- Scathe went from 120 Potency to 100 Potency. It is our best front-loaded damage for finishing enemies off if able. Also, during our rotations there are rare times when Scathe is desired, like getting a Firestarter proc while in UI3, and we just lost a bit there.

Most of these sound minor, but if you looked for these opportunities it could save a GCD or two an enemy. We are most definitely a bit nerfed in ST damage, sadly, even if it's often situational.
