Guess what? Fire is also common in high skill games. Dots are powerful.
I see a RPR maybe once a night. MNK has only sprung up because they can one shot combo BLM's. Any BLM using fire is straight up an idiot outside of extremely niche scenarios where there's only like 1 or 2 enemies and you don't need the CC. In big fight using fire over ice is beyond stupid. Literally one of the top rated BLM's in aether doesn't even have fire on their bar. There's little point to it. The dot is weak and equates to a single recup while the ice does the exact same damage and also stuns allowing for a lighting combo kill which nearly guarantees a kill unlike fire.
