Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

What other job does a constant 1000-1200 damage

- constant? it's just in our AF phase, UI phase throws us back again, so it's not "constant" at all

then gets 2 procs

- whereas one of 2 following firestarter procs gets wasted

What other job can pull off a single target AoE ability 3 times within 10 seconds that can hit its target and everything around it for 2500-3000 each time with just 1 buff?

- None can, even BLM can't do it. Considering you're meaning a "SC flare-convert-flare-manapot-flare combo"
it doesn't deal the so called "2500-3000 per hit".
the 2500-3000 dmg are happening due to a flare, sure, but only if it's a crit (and as we all know we don't have a 100% crit chance).
Furthermore with another flare after convert you will waste your whole mana , which would be enough for another fire I followed by a flare.

That's the whole point of a burst design.

-no crits, no procs, no burst, welcome to RNG

our numbers are big, sure, but that doesn't mean anything.
in comparison to the other dds blm is just too weak in single target dmg with big flaws (looking at the wasted firestarter procs). even on a puppet fight mnk, drg, smn outdamages the blm easily (bard might be on parse with blm). consider that puppet fights are stationary fights and turreting should be our strenght (where we cannot shine either), so when it's a movement heavy fight, we can hole up in a corner and wave from the back.
don't get me wrong, I do agree that melee dds should do more dps than ranged dds if they can maintain a good uptime and I don't want the blm dps to go over the top, but I don't get it why blm should do less than a summoner on a stationary fight or close to equal dmg as a bard.



the buffs are needed for sure and hopefully they will do something about the wasted firestarter procs!...
