Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

With less than 1200 SS I can do a easy 6 fire iv opener. 8 With convert

Hi All,

Just want to know if we are still aiming for Spell Speed and Crit?

Well at least for now, until more testing gets done, I do. The rotation also gets significantly less tight with more SS

I've always drilled in to my head not to use TC proc when the current debuff is more than 11seconds. Is giving away TC procs because of it a dps loss ?

Dps loss. You should always replace Fire IV with a Thundercloud if it'll tick twice (more pps). Since you can hold Thundercloud for 9 seconds, you can guarantee it'll tick thrice, so it's always a decent gain.

So I am about to make BLM my main by putting SpS on my gear. I know crit gives more damage, but I would rather have SpS materia 6 on all the good free slots for more consistent damage.

No it's not.

Crit doesn't? By that I mean, I crit more often which increases my dps.

Edit: I am also noticing the 310 chest piece lacks spell speed which is going to hurt when I have to replace it.

Not too sure about CH VS DH.
Some reddit post had scaling for DH and it looked pretty nice. Might outdo crit now.
Not enough datapoints yet tho. Which I had the time to collect them :(

Oh? So the b3 enoch opener is indeed superior?
