Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

A1S on alt, x-pots and black truffle cause my alt has like 300k lol

Learned A1 and A2 on Summoner, switched to BLM because I enjoy it more. Having issues optimizing my dps...usually around late 800-900 on A1. When should I be popping/saving enochian? Do I keep it going through the adds, do you fire4 the adds? ( was terrified of this). How/when do you manage to keep both dotted? I can't seem to find the time unless I get a proc at the right times.

For A2 it seems like I'm doing more single target focus starting at the wave with 4 dolls onward. Is this normal or should I be full AoE?

Not sure if its the best strat but i usualy fire I - Fire Iv - Swift Fire IV to kill my add before resin bomb so i can go back to turreting and minding my own business

Do you start casting fire of right away? Is there much risk of the add getting deleted before getting to the laser if stuff crits?

Fire I - Fire IV are casted right away. I usualy wait half a second to swift fire IV so it can get to me.
I should've mentioned before i cast fire I i use sharpcast. If fire I crit i replace the first fire IV with firestarter in case the planets allign and both decide to crit

Hi, I'm seeking advice.... My raid team are currently still doing AS1 and i'm wondering if you can give me any blm tips for this fight. and give me some advice on my rotation.
Currently my opener is LL>T2>SC>F1>RS/POT/F3 proc>F4x2>F1>F4x2>proc if available>B3>T2>B4.
Followed by my rotation of F4x2>F1>F4x2>B3>B4.

As BLM on first adds to achieve maximum dps on boss, I am casting double flair to kill adds. Any advice on this?

My parse is roughly 1200 on faust and 900 overall dps on Opressor. I am il190.

Any info you can help me with would be greatly appreciated at i wanna do everything i can to help my group clear this fight.

I'd suggest checking out the Guide in this thread; you could squeeze out more F4s in your opener with Convert.

Of course this means that you won't have Convert for overkilling the first adds like crazy, but that's not necessary. In my group I bane the adds as SCH; one add is invariably stuck in a resin pool dropped by the melee, so they can breathe on it to finish killing it, and the OT and I drop the one that goes for me.

My group kills it in 6:54, right before the third jump.

Ah ^^

Wondered how the kill time could be that much faster than ours, but guess there is a low of down time during that jump.
