Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

Not sure if Triple through Quint Flaring was intended. Yet double Flare should have been taken into consideration because that's kinda what Convert would ended up being used for over keeping a constant F1> B3 > F3 > F1 rotation since transpose exists.

I'm glad to have Triple Flare and Super Double Flare yet not a lot of BLM's can and will Flare properly anyway. It's not really changing the game just that a lot of Black Mages are become aware of their kits full potential. Sadly getting DRG's to realize their full potential is gonna be way harder than anything else.

You can do an endless chain of flares if you can time it correctly.

Reliably you can't. Since Flare gets it's damage from Astral Fire 3 in which you gib yourself from 1 Flare doing the Transpose method, especially when you can screw up and miss the timing. Also Transpose is on a 10 second cooldown and usually your Flare is on a 3-4 second cooldown timer which leaves with too much downtime.

Now unless you're suggesting the Bards + Scholar mini/baby Ancient Flare spam. Yeah now that's totally worth doing but you need both a Scholar and a Bard for it to work.

Yet Quint Flaring is more like Quad Flaring + Fire 2. Since that Umbral Ice 1 Flare is not doing as much damage as the rest.

As for buffing BLM's I can think of a dozen ways to make it work but none that are gonna please the overall BLM community. Overall it ain't needed only reason they aren't topping DPS parsers is because they neglect the downtime caused by Blizzard 3. If it wasn't for that downtime BLM's would probably be topping the charts or be on equal footing with rest on single target damage.
