Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

And actually you can do 3 at full power, boosted further with Raging Strikes. The timer on Raging is just long enough for 3 flares actually.

Raging>Swift+Flare>Convert>Flare>Pop Mega Ether>Flare>Raging ends. Couple it with Foe and it's quite a spectacular sight. Only thing that backfires is if someone else in the party is attacking the targeted mob you're on and kills it before your flare finishes casting.

- Also, to everyone who is following the thread and rolling their eyes at BLMs who are requesting some sort of boost to themselves in light of the most recent interview with Yoshi after reading this. Consider this.

The Flare rotations mentioned here require being stationary completely, you move at anytime during Flare (our longest cast) it interrupts, spoiling the potential output right away. So movement is still our Achilee's Heel. The only rotation that does not require being still the entire time, is if transpose is being used and you're waiting for that mp tick to come through before starting the next flare rotation. In which you have all of 1-2 seconds to re-position. But it's unreliable as an actual method because it's too easy to miss the mp tick with other in game mechanics going on.

You should be using hq mega/hq x-pot of int with that instead of x ether for higher damage(multi target scenario at least).

Negative. I've tested that, the X Int will put maybe 2-300 extra damage per hit, a little more on a crit, but prevents me from pulling out that third flare because of the mp issue. A third flare on AF3 w/Raging is far better than the boost from the higher int.

In braflox/haltial(I use both depending on mob group) the int potion nocks a whole cast off of MY(my situation though not yours) the rotation so I guess just take your pic I can either do a full rotation double flair and kill them all or I can do a rotation and a triple flair to kill them all. a dif of like 3 seconds not that big, however I feel like i'm wasting a cast when that final flair with an ether is really only being used for like half the damage.

Usually when BLMs pull hate off of me it's because of some nice crits in a double or triple flare combined with their failure to use QS. Would that come in at the beginning of the rotation or at some other point?

Quelling comes before Raging Strikes

So it's usually always

QS > RS > Flare > Flare > QS ends > Flare > RS ends

Thx. I don't BLM and was wondering.

You asked an honest question gave you an honest answer.
