    Why Blizz 3 and thunder at the start? I thought it was proven already that thunder was a DPS loss, and I just fail to see the purpose of that Blizz3.

    The opener I've been using is one I also found on Reddit:

    LL>F3>Enoch>RS>F4>F4>SharpC>F1>IntPot>F4>F4>F3proc>Convert>F4>F4>B3>B4>F3......

    Do the ones you posted allow for more breathing room with mechanics or movement or something like that?

    The only thing I can think of when it comes to Blizz 3 at the start (and thunder here and there) is because during 2.0 release, Blizz 3 was what we used to open (with raging strikes), so we could immediately cast Fire 3, and proceed with the rotation with Fire etc etc. Idk if it changed over time from 2.0 to 2.5, but Blizz 3 was always my initial starter, only because casting Blizz 3 allowed us to use Fire 3 faster, with less MP burn, and proc a lvl 3 Umbral Fire from the very start. But, that's all i can think of right now.

    Hello,
    I have yet to test this out on Ravana EX, but it would seem the Blizz 3 allows for an extension/breathing room into our casting rotation, when I don't use Blizz 3 my timers seem to die off faster not netting more time to finish casts on my other spells or I'm too close to the timer dropping off, making everything clunky. This is the best description I can honestly give. Here is the a vid I also chased down on BLM rotation, which is similar to Reddits. However, Reddits used to use Blizz 3 in his starting opener but has since taken it out. I guess it will just determine which rotation is best for the battle.

    BLM Rotation Alternative:
