Magic Damage is Weak

[Arcon]

What gear set are you using for nuking in? I get consistent damage outside of abyssea(I'm too lazy ATM to get a MACC set or fast cast set) and a crap ton inside abyssea with the right atmas. In assuming you're meaning outside. ^^ Neo Nyzule offers the best nuking gear I've seen so far.

It is not related to gear at all. The damage potential of a melee compared to a mage, even with absolutely perfect gear is horribly biased in favor of the melee. Even while they have MP they can't get anywhere near what melees do, and once they run out they're out of the game entirely. A bump up in this regard would be nice, especially considering MP cost and recast time.

It's related in the sense of a naked BLM/ vs one with OK gear/ vs one with best gear in terms of DMG potential. DD will always outclass a BLM in DoT. If you're comparing sheer "do as much DMG in a Zerg situation as possible" (pending they are under a spell that would negate them dying in 2 seconds like a DD would have under PD) they could Manafont, Nuke till dry, Convert, nuke till dry. It's not a usual scenario that would happen though. It's much more efficient to have DD do the "Zerg thing". Which why I was asking what gear OP has. It makes a difference if they don't have a good nuking set. Pumping out even lowball 2-3k (if mob isn't resistant) Blizzajas and Blizz Vs will get you dead fast. They would probably have to change hate issues first if they up BLM DoT. Or make spells cause less hate so can cast more Can cap hate fast spamming nukes. Unless you're playing the hate control game. Lol.
