Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

This is going to be the laziest BLM ever posting....go easy on me because I am old! I am reading through pages and pages of this and I still have no idea what to do. I know I need major adjustments because my damage isn't cutting it. I am trying to do more with melds but am farming Diadem atm. I am flexible and now that the airships are bringing back V materia I feel like I can get more stats in ASAP.
I am ilvl 219
Current Stats:
Acc 592
CHR 728
INT 1141
SS 791
PIE 264
Can someone tell me some rotations to try? I have been reading pages and I really am just confused. I feel like I am moving all over the place in Midas and not contributing all I can be. I am totally open to suggestion or a friendly link to a youtube video.
Thanks so much!

With new content, keep it basic and fall back on the 2.x rotation when it turns into a dance party.

As you get more comfortable with the fights, then you can focus on maximizing your rotation.

I still try and keep Enochian up. But in heavy movement fights I tend to rely on Swiftcast B4 to do it.

Please take a look at this. I'm updating it daily and will continue to manage this moving forward.

Thank you so much, this is definitely helpful, practicing on dummies now!

Could you take a look at my current opener please?

I'm crap with calculating potencys lol

QS + SC + Ley > F3 > Eno > F1 > RS > F4 X 4 > F3P > convert > F4 > hq max ether > F4 > F4 > B3 > T1 > B4

I can now do this with 852 SS, it requires 12 Pie to complete

I'm unsure if the extra F4 makes up for switching out int pot

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

It seems to be roughly the same DPS as a regular pot opener. There's of course more potency in the F4 X7 opener but it also takes a little longer. The only problem really is that the Drac pot one will synergize better with Trick Attack in a party.

Both openers have that possible 0-3s UI downtime.

It does seem very strong though.

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