Me and my fiancé who mains BLM were testing this earlier with a friend regarding the double flare and why she doesn't use it to find something peculiar.

In short, her rotation of Flare > Convert > swiftcast > Flare > Transpose means she waits 2-3 second for the MP tick of transpose which she sees as an important DPS loss.

Now the strange part is that when our friend did this same rotation her MP regen was instant with no waiting time on tick.

What exactly could be causing this difference and which one is correct? We tested this for an hour with different combinations such as dropping swiftcast but the results were always the same, she waited seconds for the pm but our friend did not.

Now my fiancé is on PS3 and our friend is PC, all three of us are on Odin and were in the UK while our friend is in Australia so I'm doubting a latency issue.

Any input on this would helpful.
