Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

Thats what i use on 4+ mobs


3 mobs i use b3-Enoch-sharp-t4-b4-f3-t4p-flare-flare

Or if the mobs are tanky

B3-enoch-sharp-t4-b4-f4-t4p-f4-flare-flare.

I highly suggest people start using thunder 4 procs in their aoe for that extra burst.

Yeah, I should've specified I usually insert T4 procs whenever they become available at whichever point in the rotation. It's ridiculous once it starts proccing a lot on big groups.

I shouldnt have said t4p i ment use sharp cast.

Does Diversion provide a more potent reduction in enmity versus Lucid Dreaming? If so, are there numbers on how big of a difference?

I think the way they work is more important than how big the numbers are.
For BLM you'll probably want diversion more than Lucid dreaming since your opener is going to generate so much hate. For lucid dreaming you'd have to build all that Hate first and then only it'd take effect. Cutting your emnity by half is quite extreme. But your opener is gonna rip off hate before Lucid dreaming is gonna be worth it, least I imagine it to be like that.

What's the best way to use Sharpcast now? I previously used it for TC procs but now it's a bit harder to do that since TC wears off before I get my first F4x3 block out

I'm also having trouble clearing the Susano SSS dummy. I'm iLv303 with the Ala Mhigan rod but I keep failing it around 8% HP

Granted, I am only lv68, but how does this sound for AOE rotation. Bliz3, eno-chan, B4, T4, F3, F2, F2, Triplecast, Flare, Flare, convert, Flare, pot+swiftcast, flare, transpose, B3, Foul(?)

As you are lvl68 and have access to the Flare mana reduction from Umbral Hearts, skip F2/F4 entirely and send the pulls to poundtown with double flares. It gets even better once you receive Foul from lvl70 which you then insert in the middle of two flares as a metaphorical middle finger to any mobs you come across.

Kidding aside, going straight to Flare > Foul > Flare after F3 outputs more PPS than trying to utilize the first two Umbral Hearts on F2/F4. Finally, don't forget to use T4P as much as possible (sharpcast helps).

^ For three targets or more. If 2 mobs or less, F4 is the way to go then finish with flare/foul.

I see. So B3, eno, B4, T4, F3(or sharpcast+ F1), triplecast, Flare, Foul, Flare, Convert, Flare, Pot+swiftcast, Flare

do not use ever F1 with enochian in umbral ice, it'll remove umbral without giving astral and thus ending enochian
