Blizzard 2 also beats out Ruin at 2 targets (50 per target, 2 targets does 100 potency vs. 80 for Ruin)?

For Bane, I added a 16s+ remaining condition on the DOTs, so it doesn't Bane when DOTs are almost running out, don't know if there's a better way to do this with the varying DOT durations...

Also, for low-level stuff, I set the Swiftcast to level 50+, since it appears to be used for Shadowflare, and before 50 it seems to randomly cast it because Shadowflare isn't a thing until then.

I'll look into this Thursday and good catch on the shadowflare.

I think I tried adding the same condition for bane but found it would not trigger. Personally, I've never had issues with bane not working correctly as it always fires off after bio and very few pulls require 2 banes. Plus most of your aether stacks will go towards painflares in the rotation.

As for the 3+ rule I think that's due to mp usage. I know that you will run out of mp very quickly if you spam blizzard 2. Personally, I don't use the aoe filter on Alexander 2 because of the mp drain.

Makes sense. But Painflare should probably be set to 2+ instead of 3+ because it doesn't cost MP and gains you at least 100 extra potency. :)

The situation where Bane tends to go off too much is if the enemies take longer than 10s to die, and you have to move or otherwise interrupt your Ruin (or whatever) casts. The bot will quickly use Bane while you're moving or target switching. This is especially noticeable in places like HL roulette, where you don't have Painflare to eat stacks, as you mentioned.

Also, I just noticed but Radiant Shield (Ifrit) doesn't seem to fire off properly (or ever, even), but I'm not sure how to fix that since the skill manager entry for it doesn't look wrong. Maybe it'd be easier just to sic Ifrit-egi?

I double checked and I have 3 painflare entries in this profile that should cover what you're suggesting already.

The first painflare entry is for AOE of 3 targets or greater during DWT.
The second painflare entry is for AOE of 3 targets or greater outside of DWT if the selected target has 189+180+179 applied.
The third painflare entry is for AOE of 2 targets or greater outside of DWT if the selected target has 189+180+179 applied.

Ifrit's radiant shield is set to go off only if he is melee attacked cause there's no point unless he is being attacked by something. Unless you're solo'ing with ifrit there's really not much opportunity for this skill to be activated.

Radiant Shield is an AOE buff on the party, despite what the tooltip says. It's *really* strong on trash pulls because it deals a lot of damage on everything hitting the tank. You can verify this by popping it manually when it's near the tank --- you'll see the buff come up on everyone around Ifrit. They changed it to this AOE buff a while back.

Other changes I've been mucking around with that you might be interested in:

Added an energy drain when level is <= 29 since you have neither Fester nor Bane, gotta used those Aetherflow stacks.
Added another Fester entry that ignores AOE limitations when level <= 51, since you have no Painflare anyways.
Added an entry to always summon Garuda when level <= 14 regardless of filter settings, since you don't get Summon 2 until 15.

Changed the filters around a bit, so that if 4 and 5 are not checked, you get Titan. 4 is Garuda, 5 is Ifrit. Changed Ifrit to Sic, to get Radiant Shield going (I had trouble making it cast correctly using the skill manager, if anyone else knows how to deal with that, it'd be great...)

This frees up Filter 3, which I put Enkindle/Rouse/Spur into, since sometimes I want to use those (on say, Expert roulette trash packs) without popping the rest of my CDs.

Those are good changes amackenzie, ty. Ill update the profile later tonight.

has the profile been updated?? ^^ love your work ^^

I noticed that quite often a Shadowflare is cast when the mob already is nearly dead or low level... maybe that could be prevented with using the HP advantage setting?

Hey i dont know if you noticed you updated the profile but you have still the old dropbox link :c

The only update was a PVP version. Scroll down and you'll see the dropbox link for it.
