What is this "nothing" you speak of T3P repping? Outside of the F3 opener possibly making you stand there waiting for an MP tick, or heavy movement, there is never a time where you must cast nothing.

Blaster beginning > Swindler beginning if LBing the adds as IMO you should with LB2 > Once in Vortexer, either 2nd or 3rd DWT

The downtime of the timed Brawler phase really hurts the "should get 4...

The Raging Strikes you get initially is the cross-class version, leveling Archer or Arcanist further does not enhance it for Arcanist.

Quelling Strikes is a niche skill in raiding/trials, you'd...

Yes it fails with HQ Max Ether at base Midlander Piety + SCH in the party, correct. You cannot B3.

Testing it now but just a note, that opener doesn't work with Midlander base Piety + SCH in the party.

Okay, I tried the opener with the variation of F3P > Swiftcast + Convert > F4 > Max Ether HQ...

I've been doing a ghetto version of my old opener. It is based around my old opener, 3D's extreme speed, and Ruin 3's new potency. Might not be the mathematically top opener, I wouldn't know because...

Ewer on BLM can be helpful. No, it doesn't mess with our rotation, the only negative is the BLM can get greedy with more than he can handle timer wise, but it's not always a help either, depending on...

Going by A8S training dummies, it will be tuned pretty tight for current gear. My group in i220 can get sub-5% on the dummies, sometimes clearing it with good crits, but on average we do not...

This is interesting, I'll have to look into that further down the road when I gear up and wanna get my final melds rolling.

On a related note, at around 285 Piety, which is about base Piety +...

Well ... DRG should be #1 or #2 in your group to get the tome, depending on your comp, just saying. At worst #3 if you've got an unfortunate MNK DRG BRD caster comp, but you get 3 weapon tomes by...

You can buy a weapon with tomes and the weapon tome from A6 Savage, instead of waiting 7 weeks.

Ifrit does do more than Garuda.

It is not Ifrit doing the same DPS as Garuda. It is Contagion being so strong with the opener and further DWT that even the two out for the most part. Radiant...

First phase it's a slight rDPS boost (same damage but no Radiant Shield if using Garuda), but you almost always have to move Ifrit while you can often leave Garuda somewhere safe. Final phase, see...

Sephirot Extreme isn't too bad for BLM. AM a lot in p1, use Swiftcast for green puddle > run through. Add phase variable from group to group. Final phase, Sharp > Swiftcast > Leylines in center > F3...

I saw an Enochian drop-off > B4 hits today as well. Maybe it snapshots a little earlier with that AF/UI/proc change that happened? Hopefully it's not a placebo effect.

I realize it's an opinion that those on the BLM thread probably won't readily agree with but that's just how I'm seeing it, based on dummy numbers and mechanical duties (assuming certain things...

Looks like you'll need around a 2.2 GCD to do F3 F4 F4 F4 F4. 2.25 GCD get F3 F4 F4 F4 F4 slow B3.

Also RIP BLM this tier IMO. Like holy moly, this is gonna be 2.2 SMN vs BLM probably. That's just...

This 1.016 (IE 1.6%) people are throwing away is pretty shortsighted. It's definitely worth more than that ...

- 1.6% assumes minimum uptime/downtime of TA. It assumes the fight ends right before...

Definitely not.

It's either the same F4 F4 F1 F4 F4 as current, or F4 F4 F4 F4. Probably depends on MP and mobility requirements.

Here's what I have, ignoring TC since all rotations can utilize it:

F4 F4 F4 F4 B3 T1 B4 F3 = 504 X 4, 161, 270, 280, 161 = 2888 potency over 22.5 seconds, or 128~ PPS
F4 F4 F1 F4 F4 B3 T1 B4 F3...

10s AF duration guarantees that as is.

1. You lose Litany TA etc and due to how Contagion works there's not that much point to worry about clipping.

2. Depends on opener, IDK.

3. DWT doesn't have anything to do with Enkindle.

4....

I'm kind of surprised there's anyone jealous in this thread. Sure it's not fun to see other classes get new potencies/toys to play with but ... you guys know you're the absolute kings of this...

You don't need a discounted B3 actually. You only have to get to the B3's cast and make it quick cast, and you're fine, you'll have enough MP to do any spell in the game after the B3.

Regardless I...

Thinking further about it, I'm not so sure we'll have to T2 or delay, assuming it's still the same total time in UI mode. Hopefully the exact amount of time we lost going out of it, was gained going...
