So, I tested some BLM rotations...

There will probably be ways to sync it eventually, but I think that'll just take getting used to the tick itself since we're so used to the old tick. I'd imagine in a week or 2 most BLM who stuck through with it will feel comfortable with it again as long as it isn't completely different in the sense that ticks are essentially random, but I doubt that. It'll be more about feel than it is knowledge since 2.0 was more about feel, too. At least, for me it was...

You might be able to cut a tiny bit of time by changing Fire II to Fire I, but then you lose out on AoE damage, which defeats the purpose of an AoE rotation. As long as you're casting your spells as quickly as humanly possible you should be pretty good.

Edit: I've been testing it awhile now and I've realized that if you got the syncing down properly you could easily reach over 400. I've been getting comfortable with it and using each skill in as quick succession as possible and I've been getting quite a lot of insta-ticks. It seems the tick happens extremely quickly and if you don't click Transpose just as you get into AF from Flare, you just miss the tick. I've seen the parse jumping around 400 and 450 when I get good streaks, however a bad one comes along and it drops significantly. Hmm... going to need to keep testing the ticks. If you could do the ticks perfectly you would probably reach about 450 constantly on 3 monsters, which is 150 per monster, 750 for 5, 1500 for 10. That's pretty significant.

I think this is why I should leave it to the really smart people to do this kind of thing. xD But hey, they'll still do it regardless so whatever... Time to edit the original post.
