When to use Flare?

[Ringabell]

Any BLM that would like to play their job optimally is encouraged to learn this, and love it, as I said earlier.

After reading this I decided to test it out on dummies. I got the timing down very quickly and the timing is very forgiving. And when you get the instant mana tick on Transpose those Flares are right on top of each other.

Fire III > Flare > Transpose *Wait 2 seconds* > Flare > Flare > Transpose *Wait 2 seconds......

Basically right after the mana tick of Transpose you count: "One Mississippi, TWO" and cast Flare ON the 2 (not after). After 5 minutes I was nailing it every single time.

I used Party Finder to do some Brayflox HM Soldiery runs and I was burning mobs down obscenely fast. And when you have Convert and Swiftcast you can do Triple Flares without the use of an item:

Fire III > Flare > Transpose *Wait 2 seconds* > Flare > Flare > Convert > Swiftcast Flare > Transpose *Wait 2 seconds*....

This is my new AoE rotation. Flares all day.
