Anyone got a Link to what they consider BiS for a SS build with the I130 token weapon please?

Just had a good week for coil drops and want to sort my set (Gloves, Belt and Pants this week! woot!).

Finally can use my i130 parts without having 550+ accu lol.

I agree about the nervous part.It might be elitism but I don't trust the persons I'm tethered to so I make numerous micro-adjustments to compensate for their errors. Also, my DPS falls incredibly during the Add Phase. I can't launch my full assault on the Cube because I'll continue to thieve it. It's quite annoying lol. Watching videos, I see other tanks being able to hold it convincingly against their BLMs so I have to wonder what My tanks did wrong.

EDIT: How much DPS does Selene add to a fight? I just noticed my SCH isn't using Selene lol. Would 515 T10 be increased? I do get 2 BV Foe's (each Add phase) without having to LB.

I think if you put Selene on Sick it is around a 20-25 DPS increase over a 10 minute fight. Might be wrong, but I think Selene is better than foes

Nice vids, I don't usually like most of what I see in BLM vids, but yours was interesting to watch.

Any idea what Potent Poisoning Pots and Melee hits actually add to your DPS?

Always interesting to see other peoples hotbars, though usually have no idea how they can find anything! But mine must look a total mess to anyone else looking xD

Potent Poisoning Potion is 250 damage each 1m30s so it's roughly 2 DPS. In a fight like Kaliya I'd say you can easily get 10 to 15 hits. Minus the second phase that take about 2mins and it's a 9mins fight. I would average 70-100 hits in that fight that deal about 40-45 dmg. You do get misses as it is not worth going melee accuracy cap so maybe 3000 damage total?

I don't have exact maths but I think meleeing T11 gives about 5 DPS.

Regardless, it's free damage to me and should be used.

Any Black Mages here who are i120+ (pref i125+) who can gather some high magnitude Fire IIIs and Flares for me in their spare time? I'd like some which are fully buffed with Raging Strikes and some without any buffs either. If you're willing to assist me in your free time, you can inbox me all data either on Reddit or Youtube via a pastebin link (literally just copy paste everything from ACT). Also, make sure to include all relevant stats used when gathering those logs.

Thanks.

Anyone know the actual dps difference between using x-pot and using mega-ether to add an extra hard-cast flare, on a single target?

I don't think a mega-ether is worth if the flare is only gonna hit 1 target. Even Two seems kinda pointless... I do use a mega-ether after the second dive bomb when I have four to five targets over an x-potion.

Turn 12 BLM Guide

it's done. I hope people will enjoy it.

Gear set for this turn Here's the gear I had for this turn. I have the minimum accuracy for T12 and I focus more on crit on this turn because Flare is 20% of my damage. Regardless on the number of bennus you get, I believe that you can't base yourself off Puro's stat weights on this turn simply because AoE is a different rotation and spell speed is kinda useless for AoE. Correct me if I'm wrong x.x I never do better damage when I go full spell speed on T12.

I've always felt with 2 targets it's a dps gain over x-pot, but may be wrong, but yeah probably not worth for 1 target, would be interesting to see some maths on x-pot's value in terms of damage gained.

Nice vid, jelly that your static kills it before the 2nd dodge phase! We've not managed that yet and it kills my dps xD We also get 4 Bennu, but that last phase for us seems to drag on forever ^^

Regarding stats, since I changed to a more SPD focused build.... it's hard to go crit again xD Feels like casting in slow motion!

[Aikaal]

Yeah, if Phoenix jumps a second time, it destroy everybody's parse lol at the same pric if you push 3 Bennus, you'll do less damage because you have less AoE targets.
