    Have you ever considered that the rate at which the devs want you to be able to cast Fire III from firestarter is actually lower than the proc rate, knowing how the system actually works?

    Irrelevant. The design of the black mages abilities should not interfere with one another during gameplay, especially when they are supposed to work together.

    That's still it though. It's part of the design. The game isn't forcing you to use another Fire I after you get the proc; It's your own choice what you do with it. Your perception of the way it works is off.

    Let's pretend the chance of a firestarter proc was 80%. You'd be using about 40% of the time (I'm no statistics expert) between Fire I casts assuming you use it after the next cast during Fire I spam. You're basically saying this is what you want, a free Fire III with an 80% proc rate to boost your dps (which would completely break BLM's). Though I'm sure with this you'd still be unhappy because you don't get to use the Firestarter proc followed by the Fire I it stemmed from. It's basically boiling down to you feel icky because you don't get to spam it ASAP, and that's just your own problem with the class design.
