The Black Mage Rotations

[Youmu]

Crit is essentially just a (critrate * 1.5) modifier on whatever potency you're already outputting

Please see the calculations at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...TDVkM1E#gid=23 . Average damage is heavily determined by the skills you use and number of mobs you hit. Start using mostly flares, and suddenly your 500 crit is worth an extra 40 int because your average damage is 1k+

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.

Of course, its a different effect type entirely when BRD has it up. Any class receiving the buff gets its ticks every 1 second.
