BLM: A mini-guide for effective DPS

[Neoshine]

Need an opinion from anyone. Firestarter proc. Do you use it everytime it's up? Not saying to cancel your current fire 1 cast to do it(Thanks SE for having the proc on hit instead of on cast) but instead of the next cast being fire 1 would you cast fire 3 instead? I was recently called a noob and that I'm losing dps because when I get my proc instead of using fire 1 on the next cast I'll cast fire 3. I was told that's "wasting dps because I'm standing there" afterwards.

I believe using it right away for the extra burst would even out that split second that your're "standing around."

I don't think you understand the tool tip. Assuming it's not wrong for some reason: A proc generated by a thunder 1 cast will have 240 potency, regardless if you cast t1,2or3 for the proc.

Please go to a dummy and parse to see that you are incorrect about this.
