[Theorycraft] BLM Openers

Good stuff. However, I found out that in fights where you might/will get targeted by a mechanic that requires movement(T11 Nerve Gas, T13 Mega Flare, etc.) at the start, It's better to start with F3 so that my swiftcast+flare lines up with the time I might/will be moving. What do you think ?

It's true. I open in T12 with T2/F3 because bennu dies too fast. For T11, I simply counter with early Manaward. Stoneskin+Manaward haven't gave me a spell interrupt and in farm content healers told me it's fine to get one stack. Opening with F3 to pair swift flare for movement is something I've never though o: I found other ways to move around :3

I get what you are saying. However, since swiftcast won't be up by the second nerve gas, I save my manaward for that It's perfectly fine if your healers are okay with you taking stack(s) though, I just try to minimize the heals on me as much as possible so that the healers can dps more :P
