When to use Flare?

[scarebearz]

I'm curious... why do you think this is bad advice?

There are very few situations where this "double flare" is of any use at all.

AoE rotations are very situational, but for most cases, mobs should not be around long enough for you to empty mp - transpose - wait and hardcast 2 flares, let alone any more.

Take Bray first and 2nd pull for example:

If the party is decent:

1st pull:

RS - Fire III - Fire II x 1 or 2 (depending on party dps) - Flare - Mega Ether - SC - Flare

2nd pull:

RS - Fire III - Fire II x 1 or 2 (depending on party dps) - Flare - Convert - SC - Flare


If party dps is low:

1st pull:

Fire III - Fire II - Fire II - RS - Fire II - Flare - Convert - (Fire II only if SCH in party) - Flare - Mega Ether - SC - Flare

2nd pull:

Fire III - Fire II - Fire II - RS - Fire II - Flare - Convert - (Fire II only if SCH in party) - Flare - Mega Ether - SC - Flare

Still situational, but something like that is what I'd recommend.
