Every time you have to dodge an AOE you are likely to lose at least one cast of Fire IV - which is a hardcast 260 MAGIC potency (which is higher than 290 physical potency, a LOT higher) that BLM need to use to keep their damage on par with the others.

Seriously, are you guys complaining about the 10s CD on Geirskogul? Tornado kick has 40s CD, yet it's not like MNKs be like "imma blow this every time it's up" either.

Finally, are we still complaining about RNG combos? We already have the easiest combo ever (same two series of four buttons in a row and one of the two depending on the proc), even MNKs now alternate less abilities, not even having this gimmick (whether it's good design or not is debatable) would make it even dumber.
