Some small gripes for BMG

[SuperZykra]

Very simple, my gripes with the BMG.

So on the BMG is anyone else slightly annoyed with the Firestarter proc? My main issue with it is that the proc is not visible until Fire 1 visually hits the target. I personally would like to see it proc as soon as the Fire 1 cast is finished, but I can see this is maybe being a method to throttle BMG DPS a bit? At the same time, there needs to be a lot of raid awareness, and one cannot afford to stand in bad shiz. So you'll be halting your DPS enough as it is.

And lastly is something I'm on the fence about because I'm not sure if it would make us OP. Thundcloud proc, I feel it is to low. Now I was thinking maybe if every other tick of thunder 1,2, or 3, your chance for thundercloud to proc is increased by 5%, i think that seems fair? Then again I may be wrong.

What are everyone else's thoughts on the BMG?

I have the same complaint about Firestarter. The delay is rather irritating and I was really hoping it would be something they could look into. My first impression was that it felt laggy.

As far as thoundercloud, I like the idea of it gaining percent chance to proc each tick. 5% seemed pretty low, I sort of expected it to go up by 5% each rank, ending with 15%. But no such luck.

I actually have a similar issue with Bard, although it may not be as serious. The game waits until the very last second to tell me I have a Straight Shot proc.

Usually these procs are based off of dots. We already have a proc on thundercloud though. I like that we have two and can understand why they don't do it on cast.
It's a mechanics vs lore issue. You really shouldn't get the firestarter proc before it hits, but what kind of rotation makes you interrupt your casts?
It feels clunky rather than a challenge of skill. I hope they figure a way to make it work.
