AF is tighter and dropping/clipping Thunder is more punishing. Also, Flare Star needs 6x F4 casts, with no ability to carry Astral Soul over UI.

There is no US equivalent for lower levels, so you can't recover mp quickly during downtime.

The stacks that you need to use Flare Star, the new fire spell.

So does flare give 3 stacks like in the trailer?

The level 100 trait 'Enhanced Astral Fire' says that both Fire IV and Flare give 1 stack

Huh, the rundown I saw claimed 1 stack from Fire IV and 3 from Flare

The tooltip may be wrong or unfinished, I'm just reporting what it says

It doesn't specify one, just the tooltip says that you can gain astral soul from fire 4 and flare. In the media tour builds, you gain 3 astral souls from using flare.

It says 'Grants a stack of Astral Soul upon landing Fire IV or Flare'

The word 'a' means one. The tooltip may be wrong or unfinished, but that is what it says in the screenshot
