BLM: Endgame guide and rotations

[SirGazuntai]

Blizz I (or even Blizz III) are good fillers, however I love Scathe for end-game content for the same reason I love Firestarter/Thundercloud procs. They all allow movement. I refuse to move with the group in Turn 4 until I've gotten a proc (sometimes I'll get both procs at the same time and I can reach the other end of the elevator without losing DPS).

If it's a fight that requires little-to-no movement, by all means use spells with cast-times but the mobility Scathe provides can be invaluable (not to mention I get the double-potency pretty regularly, so it usually does way more damage anyway).

It's a good start to a BLM guide. More of a rotation guide than an actual BLM guide, but I guess it covers the majority of important stuff.

Psh you don't need Quelling Strikes! Rip that hate and make the tank feel like a baddie and make the other DPS impressed.

If you start with Thunder II then that will usually be enough time for the tank to get enough hate. Unless you totally out gear him... which is becoming a problem now in DF as the gear gap widens between Coil farmers and the rest of the population.
