This sounds about right, but because of the massive buff to flare star, the burst window can now have 2 stars and 3 xenos in it for rather large DPS gains, potentially boosting it above a raw 1-3% buff due to multiplicative buff stacking if you align things correctly.

Honestly, the more I look into BLM's burst and 7.2 as a whole, the more I believe they're likely going to adjust how BLM bursts between 7.2 and 8.0. The level for optimization available is kind of insane, and is leading me to believe, in part, that the 7.2 rework to BLM is closer to Monk's 5.4 rework in practice. A quick and dirty realignment to fix a class losing players that will be bolstered with a rework later. I just wish the devs didn't have to kill caster gameplay off just to give BLM literally any attention.
