Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

I'll say this again. Only reason we Black Mages don't parse as high as them is because we have consistent downtime in our rotation. If we didn't have that downtime then our damage per minute wouldn't look as low as it is on parsers...

People compare final # not burst #, in equal gear and skill a physical dps(in a solo/low mob encounter) will always come out substantially higher. fights like turn 1,2,7, ifrit ex, garuda ex. There are some fights like levi, titan, turn 5, and turn 6 offer multi target moments that allow blm to gain some of its place back up a parse(ignoring mechanics that counteract this/make impractical). if a blm gets lucky in these fights and doesn't get targeted for stuff they have to dodge/move from the dps is decent enough that really wouldn't be too bad; But for each vines, liquid hell, ect..., that the blm has to dodge, there dps drops a lot more then a physical will, and these mechanics happen all through out the fight.

It's not an exploit to cast a spell the moment the regen tick occurs. It's part of the mechanics of the system used in a novel way, but not an exploit.

We already got nerfed because people did exactly this already once, SE stated that this is exploiting the mechanics of the game but it's their job to try and not make it possible. you are timing your cast so that you get the boost of umbral ice, even though you are technically in astral fire, that would be kinda the definition of an exploit, manipulating the game in order to receive 2 bonuses when the game only allows for 1 to be active at a time.
