Enemies affected by either Conflagration or Ignite have a 10% chance to flare up and deal (40% of Spell power) Fire damage to nearby enemies.

Why Flamestrike at 3+ just to put ignite on them when you can just use Phoenix's Flames instead? It will hit three targets, and spread to basically all of them by the time Cinderstorm finishes casting.
Actually, phoenix flames puts ignites on everything, so you don't need to use your hot streak for that purpose. I pretty much always use PF as part of my opener on trash packs as it's the fastest way to get ignite rolling for conflag and CiS. Once you get the gold trait for phoenix flames, it's easy to always have a charge for trash packs.
dunno if this has been answered, but does anyone know if LB explosion damage is calculated on cast or when it explodes?
which is wrong, if the mages in the top 10 guilds in the world says its at 3+ targets through in game testing and their own sims/math then im inclined to agree, that doesnt mean that there isnt situations where its better to use FS at 8+ targets but its never ever only when there is 8+ targets.
well i cant exactly link conversations ive had but you could say, make a character on a realm and ask them or ask them in streams, every1 ive asked has said its 3+ targets, ofc they can be wrong, just like rinoa's statement can be wrong but if they say its so then im inclined to relay that to ppl that believe otherwise ofc ppl are free to draw their own conclusions and follow the 8+ targets mantra.
I'm pretty certain the answer to this question comes down to how long the targets will live, and how many there are. I believe the spellpower% of pyro is 400% or something compared to FS 180%. So at 3 or more targets, flamestrikes instant hit will be more damage than pyro. Now, obviously pyro hits harder, spreads a stronger ignite. But it doesn't hit more than one target at once. Flamestrike is upfront instant moderate amount of damage on all targets, with a weak ignite.
But then you have to figure out if the prolonged ticking of pyro ignite will outdamage FS aoe in the long run. That makes it even more complicated.
But here's the thing though, Rinoa's guides are based off of theorycrafters who have shown their proof. And it's available for all to inspect (simc).
On the other hand, you claimed to have talked to the top tier mages. Who you've never mentioned by name, or shown any proof. And we don't even know if you've talked to one or two or ten of them.
So you can understand why it's a bit hard to take your word.
yeah, of that i can agree with you 100% what you use depends entirely on how long the mobs live, in dungeons and prolly most raid encounters as well, FS on 3+ is definately the way to go but on council fights where the bosses are close enough for the pyro ignites to get high and spread and similar situations like that then pyro is the way to go, but generally speaking FS is most likely the way to go.

well furty states the same as me in his guide as do ppl like xyronic and you can be sure that ppl like them atleast knows what they are doing and ppl in their respective guilds would have the same opinion as them and i dont know about you but im inclined to take the word of ppl in top 10 guilds in the world.
