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.
