The Black Mage Rotations

[PessimiStick]

Mage's Ballad ticks every second? I should probably know since I have a 50 BRD, but I definitely wasn't under that impression. If it does actually tick every second, then F3/Flare/B3 is certainly competitive and possibly superior. I ignored the single-target DPS because it doesn't really have any impact on overall clear speed. Everything needs to die, so 1 or two mobs dying first doesn't actually change anything. Crit has a flat impact on everything. Crit is essentially just a (critrate * 1.5) modifier on whatever potency you're already outputting.

Edit: Mage's Ballad definitely does NOT tick every second on the BRD, at least. It's 3 seconds like everything else. It *may* act differently on other people, but I can't test that right now.
