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.
