Need BLM Rotation pre-lvl 60

[drmambo1999]

Okay, so given all these suggestions, here is the rotation I came up with: Leylines>Surecast>Light 3>Swiftcast>Fire 4>RagingS>Fire 1 (repeat till low on MP)>Blizz 3
(Oh, and of course, anytime a Lightning or Fire proc pops up, I use it)
Any thoughts, or tweaks I should do? I also throw in a Swiftcast + Flare + Convert on dungeon bosses sometimes

You are heading in the right direction for sure, but I would suggest lightning 1 after sharp cast to shave off some time as you only really want it for the thunder cloud proc for lightning 3.

Also if you are going to swift cast fire 3 I almost wanna recommend you put raging strikes before that. ( I might be over looking something there though)

As far as the flare>convert>swift cast>Flare goes, I usually only use that on trash pulls, but if the boss is close to dead I don't see why not.

EDIT: Also I usually use ley lines after thunder 1.

Ahh I wondered why most people still relied on Thunder 1. I'll fix that. As far as Raging Strikes going before F3, I've seen most put it before F1... Is there a particular reason to favor one way over the other?

Usually I would place raging strikes before fire 1. It was the swift cast that threw me off. Since you aren't in umbral ice when you use it I was thinking that Raging strikes could add just a bit more damage to fire 3 without wasting too much time on it as you are using swift cast, but as I said I am unsure about that and can easily be overlooking something with the numbers. ^^;

I would avoid Swiftcasting in general while Ley Lines is up just because of the way the time tends to work out there. Besides, holding Swiftcast for emergency Blizzard 4s is usually more helpful especially in movement heavy fights.

I like Raging Strikes after Fire 3 just because Fire 3 takes a long time to cast... that's a lot of wasted Raging Strikes time for not a lot of extra damage since at that point you don't have AF3 active. If Enochian is cooperating, I do like to Convert while under Raging Strikes to keep my fire phase going a little longer.. but not if it means losing Enochian to do it.
