BLM Fire II incredibly lack luster

Your issue is, you seem to think you are doing 320 dps to each mob in the encounter when you are not. 320 AoE dps is an accumulative amount.

No, and I have repeatedly stated otherwise.

You are, still, comparing 3 10,000 HP mobs to 1.

Your example was flawed from the start.

You have the same amount of mobs, same HP.

10,000 3 Mobs 320 DPS
10,000 3 Mobs 307 DPS

Which wins? Individual DPS per mob doesn't matter as long as your collective DPS for the group is greater.

10,000/320 = 31.25
10,000/307 = 32.57

30,000/320 = 93.75
30,000/307 = 97.71


You can't do your ST DPS concurrently, and you seem to think otherwise.

While you're doing 307 DPS to one target, you're not doing it to another. When you're AoEing, you're doing 106 DPS/target, that is 320 DPS total.

320 > 307

You are still way out of touch with reality.

This wins:

AoE - 10'000hp divide 106.6 dps per mob = 93.8 seconds.

It matters not how many mobs are in an AoE encounter or HP. What matters here is that you know there is 10k hp and at 320 DPS AoE it equals 106.6dps per mob which means the encounter is lasting 93.8 seconds in total to kill ALL 3 MOBS!!!! You can put 10 mobs in here at 10k hp and guess what, the encounter still lasts 93.8 seconds.

There is 3 mobs in the encounter, you do not spilt their hp by a third because there is 3. 3 mobs at 10k hp each = 3 mobs with 10k hp. It does not equal 3 mobs with 3333hp. I don't know how you even come up with that.....320 AoE DPS does not equal 320 dps per mob in the encounter.


ST - **I must stress here these values in this thread is a very vague rotation used to accomplish this DPS value. ST would be more like in the 320+ range as per this post here**

10'000hp divide 350 dps per mob = 28.5 seconds.
x 2 mobs = 57 seconds
x 3 mobs = 85.5 seconds
x 4 mobs = 114 seconds = Break point at which AoEing becomes viable.

After 4 mobs, it is viable to AoE.

Me personally, I do it at 5 to maximize it.

Do what you want man.
