BLM skills, rotation questions

[KilimYolo]

Thanks Now i understand how Flare works in fight.

Question 2:
Is it optimal to use ice skills after i have pressed transpose? I kinda like shooting ice stuff too. Really like winter and fire skills.

Is it optimal to use ice skills after i have pressed transpose?

On single mobs:

Once you've learned Blizzard III, you want to avoid transposing as much as possible. On single targets, I would only use Flare if Swiftcast and Convert are both available (Swiftcast → Flare → Convert → Fire → Blizzard III)



On groups:
Do Frizze's rotation.

(after Flare,Transpose) → Thunder II/IV → Fire III → Fire II → Fire II → Flare → Transpose

Not fan of Fire III cast time thought... Uses lots of mp, casts for 3,5s.

Prior to Fire IV, you should spam Fire. Fire III is for breaking Umbral Ice. Once in Astral Fire III, casting Fire III takes 40% longer than casting Fire, but Fire III only does 33% more damage.

When you have a Firestarter proc, Fire III's time commitment is equal to Fire, so it takes 0% longer but does 33% more damage.
