DPS parsing Black Mage numbers since patch

[Zerosix]

I wish there was a way we could just see the global dot/hot/mana timer. That way we could work around it. With the change it is just so inconsistent now.

99% of the time your waiting for mana ticks anyway, why would not queuing be an issue?

99% of the time I can get insta-ticks. You just need to get used to the buff changes.

I have no issues working around the mana ticks. There was no change to how ticks work, just how we gain the last one. Before the patch we would get our 2nd tick mere seconds before we changed into AF but since we lose UI before that we don't get that 2nd tick anymore.

All you have to do is add an extra GCD after you get your first mana tick (Blizzard, Thunder, Scathe) and you're fine.
