You have to consider a few things. Typically an HQ X-pot of int is going to add roughly 100-120 damage onto your fire 1. You will most likely get 5 fires off in a chain with your int pot active. Thats an additional 500-600 dps during that time.

Alternatively, if you use a mega ether (hq has a recast of something like 3:40), thats an additional flare. So it depends on your gear and what your fighting. For T8, I was using int pots, but have recently switched to ethers for an extra flare on the dreadknights/boss every 4 min or so, and have found my overall DPS to be higher.

And sorry if I came off as snarky or elitest 4 pages ago about Aetherial Manip. Its a pet peeve of mine when blms don't use it because it really is an amazing ability. Glad that you understand it now and hopefully are using it regularly
