The math for Fire 3 should be [Fire 3 potency - Fire 1 potency], since you're using it in place of Fire 1 for your rotation. So it's only a gain of 144 potency to use it for Fire 3 as opposed to just casting Fire 1, while that 350 potency from Thundercloud is just free damage.

Was thinking about this, and why is it? Wouldn't the Firestarter proc be either just launched off right away as a bonus or necessarily spent the next time you reenter AF, so it never has a chance to replace Fire 1 as your timer refresher?

Apparently they said that it's Omega across its entire journey. Knowing that, I'd wager the lineup might be...

-Omega Classic
-Some reflection of what we saw in Ultima Thule (Chi?)
-Omega M+F
-O12S phase 2
-Unguessable mystery final phase like Perfect Alexander or Final King Thordan

I'm hoping there's an Omega vs Shinryu phase in there and they surprise us with the next ultimate being Ultimate Four Lords.

Basically any comparison of how much potency a spell or weaponskill adds to your rotation needs to consider what else you could be using that global recharge time for. For example, Xenoglossy isn't a "free" 800 potency, it adds 800 minus the potency of what you would otherwise be casting instead. BLM in general is kind of a pain to math out, because afaict there's nowhere in game where it tells you exactly how much the % boost for Astral Fire is, but Firestarter gives you an extra spell to cast, while Thundercloud boosts a spell you were going to cast anyway.

edit: It shouldn't "replace" Fire I if you're playing optimally, but it will extend your overall rotation, adding a new spellcast to it. Also, you shouldn't save it to reenter fire phase, since it gets a cast time reduction while Umbral Ice is up anyway. It's best used to either extend your fire timer or after your mana hits 0, right before you go back into ice phase.

Last phase is Toy Omega and you have to break them in front of Alpha to get your clear

If they didn't do Warring Triad they're probably not doing Four Lords. Especially since they're doing 2 Ultimates an expansion instead of 3.

Although it still might not be "Shinryu" Uptimate, since Shinryu isn't really the MSQ boss. It's Zenos controlling Shinryu so I could see Garlemald/Zenos Ultimate featuring Shinryu and Tsukuyomi.

My guess for Omega Ultimate is if you see original O12S final phase you fail, the goal is to help Omega achieve perfection where in the original Savage it failed to do so.

I think some people will hit the leading team's spawn as a desperation move to try to hedge them in/prevent them from reaching objectives? In general, I think it's "FL is pretty dumb and people make stupid decisions," though.

They're talking about CC, but I think you'll find that people are pretty dumb in PvP in general.

It's this, but also a person chased off to the middle of nowhere isn't pushing the point. It's definitely the wrong move like, 99% of the time though.
