When to use Flare?

[scarebearz]

You're welcome to test it yourself. At this point, enough people have voiced their use of the same Flare only AoE rotation I mentioned (save for that strategic placement of a single Fire II for Transpose timing).

You can either try it out, and realize like the rest of us that Fire II - based AoE rotations have been very much subpar AoE DPS compared to what you could have been doing, or continue to be stubborn. Your call.

Lots of people doing the same thing does not mean it's superior to methods used by the few.
