Average BLM DPS T8?

Here is my rotation

First things first: Gear wise you are 12 over the accuracy cap. Do you have any gearpieces from Second Coil?

Secondly; You seem to be losing a small amount of time when switching your hotbar to use Blizzard 3.

Thirdly; Its a small dps gain when you have a firestarter proc in ice phase to use transpose at the end and then use your proc.

Its hard to say about your performance in T8 without seeing how you are reacting to certain mechanics (Ballistic Missiles, Landmines, saving quelling for the dread etc) with your rotation.

The only Second Coil drops I have are the Boots and the Belt. The Mask dropped tonight but I let our SMN have it. (it is BiS for him and not me, right?)

I have a recording of my performance tonight, but the issue is, I was focused on my DPS more than the mechanics, so I forgot to trigger my landmine. If you can ignore that, than I am willing to show it.

Would the SS BiS increase my DPS in T8? I do trigger several towers and clear landmines from my sector so I'll eventually interrupt casts.

I think if you run more spellspeed you'll certainly increase your DPS, that said, with the gear you have now, there isn't many options for you. You could certainly do with the T6 ring, and if you have gil to spare, the Crafted pants (as they are a T9 drop). I'd also recommend the crafted earrings.

However, 2.4 is coming soon, so its probably not a good idea to do it now, you should work on your actual performance ingame.

Its hard to say without looking at a video of your fight. Don't worry about mistakes, the important thing is that you are here, asking questions and wanting to improve, which is more than I can say for most people in this game!

Gotta admit, I laughed!

The "issue" (380 dps on t8 is perfectly acceptable, better than many, even though it could be higher) won't be due to Crit vs SS vs Det, may make a few dps difference, but nothing that noticeable. A decent BLM will do nice DPS regardless of Crit or SS built to be honest.

@Skeith

It's simple maximising your dps uptime while dealing with mechanics and improving your rotation, to make the most of GCD's and any slight pauses there are.

I'd say doing HM/Ex primals is a good way to improve overall performance as a BLM, lots of practice to DPS while moving.

Once you do consistently decent DPS on those fights, T8 will feeling like hitting a training dummy.

I love Titan Ex and Levi Ex as a BLM. As Scare said (which I hoped would come across in my previous post but I probably didn't word it well) that the more practice you get with your class, the better you'll get, but its hard to give tips without seeing you actually in T8.
