60 BLM: This simple fix could solve A LOT of troubles with the job

[Darxer]

The Fix:

**Increase the time of Astral Fire from 10 seconds to 12 seconds (or even 15s)**

60 BLM's are well aware of how punishing movement and interruptions are. Keeping up Enochian is challenging and rewarding. But not every situation can be planned for.

The typical 60 rotation involves casting 2 Fire IV's followed by a Fire I to keep up Astral Fire 3. If the first F4 is interrupted, we have to start over with F1 to keep up AF3, then continue our next F4. Basically, any time a F4 is interrupted, we lose it in the current rotation, because we need to cast a F1 to reset the timer on AF3, and that eats our MP that would have been used on a F4. If the second F4 is interrupted, there's a good chance we'll lose AF3 completely, as there may not be enough time for a F1. Increasing the duration of Astral Fire may solve these issues.

Another issue this fix may solve is the usage of Thundercloud and Firestarter procs. More often than not, there is not enough time in the rotation to use these procs, as we are too tight on timing with AF3 and Enochian.

This fix is extremely simple, it requires no changes to any part of the job, and could alleviate quite a few issues.
