My testing is not exclusive to dummies. That would be silly. They have their place, and provide conclusions in a certain context.

More relevant testing is content like Turn 4 of BCoB or Brayflox (Hard) speed runs.

Again were did i say i double flare? I turned the "pretty widely" accepted 2x flares into 3x flares
I'm still not sure you understand what I'm comparing. The opener is not in question here. Everyone worth their salt will open an AoE burn with

Fire III > Flare > Convert > Flare (> Ether > Flare) > Transpose

You didn't turn anything into anything. Not sure if English isn't your first language or not, but when I say double Flare rotation I haven't been referring to starting off with 2 Flares.

The comparison here is, what do you do after that opener, when you've use up your Convert and Ether?

A. Transpose > Blizzard (I/II/III) > Fire III > Fire II > Fire II > Fire II > Transpose > etc.

or

B. Transpose > {wait} > Flare > Flare > Transpose > etc.


Comparing those 2 extensions to the AoE burn rotation, B comes out far ahead. It's not even close.

Whatever you say, buddy. Pretty sure the thread doesn't close when you want it to though.
