The last few days some friends and I have been playing around with our classes in endgame.

As a THM, I have been finding the following rather interesting:

Raging Strikes, Quelling Strikes, Virus, Physick, E4E (these are the standard BLM cross class, no reason not to keep them)
Internal Release, B4B, Convalescense, Aero, Stoneskin (additions)

Aero is a nice secondary DoT, usable while moving and for Fireweaving. Convalescense is great mitigation (especially with B4B up). IR and B4B are great when added to RS and can be weaved further on as they have different cool downs.

From the limited experience I have with it so far, the single target dps is rather impressive and the added mobility is nice.

Anyone up for some testing and rotation development? Be interesting to see how a full i110 THM single target compares to BLM (AoE is no contest BLM given the loss of Flare, but single target could be interesting).

Tried it. The lack of Piety is the real killer, you lose a Fire most rotations. Lose Flare. Lose a lot of INT. Even with B4B + IR the damage is just on a much lower scale.

What should be the first things one purchases with poetics? I purchased the chest (woe be to me) but I'm saving now for the weapon (will have materials for purchase + 130 mat).

Is it really just the boots, earrings and ring??

Hmmm... The numbers on my boosted THM F1s were a bit higher (1100-1200) than my non-boosted BLM F1s (~1000), and that was with an i75 weapon instead of an i115. I think I am still going to see what I can come up with at least if for no other reason than variety and personal interest.

I wonder if some i90 crafted accessories could be used to make up the Piety difference... Hmmmm.... Much to consider.

You only need 302 if you cast B1 before casting thunder (so 294+3% = 302)

As for the vid, he did not take in account of 133 MP for F3 coming out from UI3 phase that you get from shitty regen timing. So, you'd need 4251 MP total to be able to do T1 right after B3.

F3 + F5x6 + B3 + T1:

133 + 638*6 + 78 + 212

= 4251 MP (315 PIE = 4254)

======================================

For B1 before Thunder

133 + 638*6 + 78 + 106

= 4143 MP (302 PIE = 4147 MP)

If we use the 302 pie cap and B1 before thunder couldn't we use T2 instead of T1 or is there a reason to still T1 ?

Any rotation with B1 before Thunder means you can use any Thunder (I, II, or III)

Your lack of vitality will make you as much of a liability as Dragoons in FCoB.

Hey Puro, regarding your Final Coil of Bahamut Loot Table, this topic seems to indicate that the gloves drop on the T12 and not T11.

Edit: Oh and in the Text Version below it says T11... well i guess your right!^^
