The leveling guide could use a few fixes at ARR levels.

The AOE rotation should be single target below level 25, and after level 25 it shows fire II -> Aero -> Water, instead of Aero II and Water II until level 52, despite water 2 being available at 45 and aero 2 at 35.

The aoe rotation SHOULD BE: Fire 2 spam on 4 or more enemies, or Fire 2 -> Aero -> Water on 3 enemies sub 35.

Sub 45 it should be Fire 2 -> Aero 2 -> Fire 2... etc on 4 or more enemies, or Fire 2 -> Aero 2 -> Water on 3 enemies.

Additionally the fire -> aero -> water disappears after level 31 on single target.

So, Hyperphantasia speeds up cast time, but both Comet in Black and Star Prism use up a stack even though they're instant cast. Doesn't it make more sense to do 3 subtractive palette, then two regular palette, and then the instant casts? I don't see why you would ever use up a hyperphantasia with an instant cast. Am I missing something?

even though they are instant cast, it still lowers the GCD on them to cast your next skill. so it now becomes an issue of what is stronger, the total potency of star prism and black comet is 2280 and the potency of 2 regular palettes is under 1000

Can anyone provide clarification on the optimal AOE rotation for leveling in ARR, particularly regarding the transition points between different spells and levels?

Hi there, please reference https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/pictomancer-leveling for early AoE rotation. Its not too complex, but if there's specific questions about what's listed on the page, feel free to ask.
