Hi fellow BLM, just wanted some info. Been at 50 for a while now and obviously ive got flare. My question is how hard is your Flare spells hitting for? Mine seems very weak only hitting group for maybe 400-450 max, even using my 20% dmg buff im lucky to hit 500. I used to think it was ok until my WHM friend told me his healer aoe does 700 dmg.
Am I doing something wrong or is flare just broken?

For a ManaBrurn-type spell it seems very weak, perhaps they should consider changing the spell to match potency with a variable towards how much mana is spent or something.

If you're casting Flare, make sure you're casting it with three stacks of Umbral Fire.

Flare is actually a pretty hard ability, doing CM speed runs I typically cast Flare, hit Transpose, cast Blizzard II twice to get three stacks of Umbral, Fire III the highest target, then Flare right as its going off to get a hastened Flare with three stacks of Astral Fire. I feel that this does more damage than just using Fire II, but it requires you to be in melee range. My flares typically hit for 1350.
