BLM macros

Thundercloud already makes Thunder 3 instant cast with no MP cost, and as for instant cast Flares, I'd rather save SC for Fire 3 to get to AoEing much faster. I see SC as more of a tool to speed up the ramp up time needed for your UI/AF if you don't know what you can get away with exactly

Thundercloud is a 5% chance, so it's not really instant in every instance, also you have to actually initially cast Thunder III in order to receive a Thundercloud proc. I start my single target rotation with Blizzard III, then immediately use my swiftcasted Thunder III macro for the instant thunder, then start into my Fire III. When I cast Fire III it's super fast, because I'm already in Umbral Ice III and my MP bar is also completely full. I don't think my Swfitcast would ever be wasted on a Flare, because I only use Flare in AoE situations and I also never use Thunder III in AoE situations, so it works out as being separate without the interference.
