The Black Mage Rotations

[PessimiStick]

waiting for an addon that shows me the internal tick timer, so i can be better attuned with the universe and all.

I'm fairly certain it's actually 1 Eorzian minute, so if you set your in-game clock to Eorzian time, you should be able to see it. Not that there's much you can do in the way of actually timing things around it, but you can try!

good eye, they appear to be on the same timer, trying to find a way to test it exactly, however like you were saying, i dont see it really helping much

If you penned out the time it took for your full rotation, and synced it with Eorzia time, you could probably streamline it. Meaning, At a certain point in your rotation, your MP from bliz 3 would tick at a certain time. So you start your rotation at a certain amount of Eorzia seconds to grant ticks when they are most needed.

However, procs from Firestarter and Thundercloud would throw that off. So you would have to pause here and there and pay attention to "what time it is" in the middle of your rotation.

In the long run, would it be worth it? Only math will tell.

AoE rotation wouldnt have any firestarter or thundercloud procs so it could make since there, but latency isnt always set, so a 100ms here and 150 ms there will throw it off
