Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

You can do an endless chain of flares if you can time it correctly. Using Flare around 2 seconds after you get a mana tic from Umbral Ice (Transpose) makes it so you receive a tic of MP after the flare goes off. That might be what he's referring to. Quelling Strikes would probably help in this situation, but you obviously can't have it up every time you need to AoE. Or even most times.

And BLMs want buffs to their "viability" anywhere there's high-movement fights, or need heavy single target damage. So, basically anything that isn't clearing Brayflox trash.

If you're using Flare from Umbral Ice, you really shouldn't be pulling hate from ANY tank considering how low damage it is.
