Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

Once the blms are geared 2 is redundant, they compete with each other for aoe damage when a single geared blm and a bard can wipe out any pack in a single rotation. Any more than sufficient aoe to kill everything before the blm has to go umbral is wasted dps, and foes plus holy from the whm can be enough while the bard and blm with correct cd and song usage will deliver far better single target rather than 2 blm.

8:40 soldiery runs last night with this setup.

Nicely done. Now do it without your WHM's holy spam + Foe for the aoe kills. Not being condescending, truly curious to how the time will scale.

Not too much of a difference, still under 10mins (9mins plus). I was running with him as a BRD last week, but our healer was a SCH.

^they absolutely did not, I was doing it last night on t7 trash for fun.

Probably poorly, everyone has to pull their weight. The foes is what makes a single rotation possible, and the holy tips them over. If your point is that it's the other jobs that makes aoe fast, you're absolutely right, they have really good synergy, not just with foes but how their cd usage doesn't overlap. While blms burn CDs during trash the bard pops them all on bosses with foes and does amazing burst while buffing the blm.

If you also want to know about scaling I think my whole point is that bard and blm scales better with gear, while double blm with gear is just overkill on trash.
