what rotation u guys use for adds on bosses? fire 2 stacked? i mean an aoe rotation

On Garuda I like to save Swiftcast + Flare. As soon as the text comes up I'll swiftcast + flare and the feathers are at half health. You could end up > (in astral 3) Swiftcast > Flare > Convert > Flare > Transpose > Fire 3 > Flare. But that would only be useful if the adds stay stacked.

This works really well if there's another BLM with you who's doing Freeze/Blizz2. Locks down the adds just long enough that you're likely to hit them all with 2 flares, which wrecks them. If I'm the only BLM, then I tend to be more conservative and use Freeze/Blizz2 and hope that the other dps can AE the clump.
