[Demoniun]

Hi, i'm Demon Rose' from Ragnarok!
Today i was bored and i started to try some new things with my BLM (i started in 3.2 and reach 60 in 3.35, so i'm kinda "new"). Anyway, i found out a new opener for BLM. We can cast 8 Fire IV in one single opener, or 7 Fire IV + potion!
You can click on titles to see openers on ffxivrotations ^^

Very useful, this might become a new opener in 4.0. Can i put this opener in my BLM QRH?

Thats neato! Adding on to this, it's known that currently you can perform 5 fire 4 in a single AF cycle with Ley lines and enough spell speed (1157 is my current, and enough to pull it off), but you can do it twice if you cast ley lines just before fire 3 after the refresh, giving you an extra 2 fire 4.

Post-4.0 BLMs get triple-cast. This single action changes everything when it comes to openers.

It's extremely weaker than 6 fire IV sharpcast opener. Firstly, you raging strikes pop is very ineffective. Secondly, hardcasting second fire 3 mid-fight in raid maybe problematic(and it cover a lot of raging strikes time as well). Third, casting thunder after blizzard IV takes away effective time of next enochian. Switching raging strikes and enochian in your rotation immediately makes it much better but it rises up spell speed requriements and it's still worse than sharpcast opener in terms of pps.
