really? i heard about people triple flaring pretty recently. dont know blm well enough to comment either way - but i wondered how that was possible for sure.
As for your blm profile - i find it does work well single target, and even ae... but it doesnt seem to fire off flare very often.
Its set to go off under its parameters AND when swiftcast is up which therein lies the problem. Swiftcast pops off even if your not attacking a mob. ANd just goes off eveyr time its up which makes its lining up w/ flare a real unlikelyhood. I think in the past 3-4 days of using it on/off ive seen it once.
The only reason i bring this up is that over the months of healing by hand, ive heard comments regarding BLM"s and them not using flare which was said in the context of BLM=bad.
Now from what i can tell, in 99% of scenarios you will get more dps w/out and by using Fire2 but the mindset still prevails, or perhaps im wrong. Again im not really in the know. Admittedly all i play to a pro degree is whm but im burning out on it. Too much responsiblity... id argue more than tank even. Would like to relax a little while i play at times so must gear some other jobs and unfortunately to stand out as a dps you really gotta do just that.
Anyhow, before i ramble any longer - glad to see your still here jackie :)
