    ^ and this is more or less it, you know what i am saying, lol
    Trust me i have tried many different rotations i have found this one to work the best for me, and my numbers are just fine
    Not to mention one can argue that by the time your Fire 3 (hardcast) is done i am already dealing damage.
    Again not trying to argue just posting what i do and there are times i do not start with Ice 3

    You do realize hard casting Blizzard 3 and Fire 3 takes the same time and they do the same damage right? :s As a Black Mage you want to avoid spending as much time in Umbral Ice phase as possible. Your numbers may be "fine", but probably not fine enough to give other people advises.

    Yes, I get a half damage Fire3, as well as an additional F1, meaning I've done 5x 270 potency spells by the time you've finished casting your second thunder, and have only cast 4x 270 potency spells.
