Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

Been away for a while, but last I played 264 piety was all I heard of for the opener. From what I can tell, this 284 breakpoint is for not having a delay after Blizzard 3 to cast Thunder. Is hitting 284 piety a net increase in DPS over the 264 piety build? Thanks.

In regards to the piety thing. People often seem to forget that blizzard 1 is a thing. Very often you will still have 10+ seconds left on a thunder dot when you will "need" this piety for a thunder1 without waiting. I don't recommend using piety melds at all. The actual situations where it will give you a net gain in DPS are far too inconsistent and niche that I personally don't feel it's worth the drop in other stats. 264 (dunesfolk) is all you need.

Yeah, I've been noticing this. Had someone on Reddit tell me Blizzard was a waste...

AoE question. The OP says this:

On 4 targets or more, F3 > F2x2 > Flare is the best you can do.

Does this mean F3 > F2x2 > Flare > Convert > Flare > Ether > B3 > B2 > F3 > F2 spam, or something else? I recall hearing that triple flares were no longer a thing back in 2.4-2.5, but I dunno what the state of things is now.

I would much rather have ss and crit on the anima weapon, for the little difference extra piety has not sure it would be worth it

I'm tempted to put some accuracy on to allow me to run more spellspeed pieces like the WC gloves, and to change some accuracy melds to crit. Plus, you can always change it later if we get more accuracy pieces next patch.

Never ever never ever put acc on your wep. You don't know what the next tier of gear is going to boast. And if it's like the Novus, these secondaries should remain thru the rest of the expac.

You can change stats when you're finished though

You also choose to lose some acc and complete it with food
Since food come easier with the 3-yield it should be way more easier

I am seeing a lot of builds with drops from savage....i don't do savage so what would be a good idea of a build using crafted pieces and drops from Weeping city? I don't need to be the MOST UBER BLM but I would like to not look ridiculious!

Thank you!
