My only solution is to stick on the boss to garantee a hit when going from fire to ice or ice to fire. titan is a nightmare for blm, so is levi. remember their "jump" phases also mean we lose our astral fire or umbral ice and if we do not have swift cast. thats more than 3 seconds to we gotta wait to actually do some damage, if we have to move its time wasted, no dps. monks and dragoons can still hit and work back their stacks there is a huge difference than losing 15% of your dps than losing 100% of your dps as in what happens alot to blm on movement fights.
