The Ultimate Black Mage Resources with Damage Calculator

I've been checking combat log and keeping an eye on crit damage to get a sense of the new multiplier. At anywhere near 550 (tried with 545-556) crit, I'm right around 1.6x damage. The Fire 1 ranges from 1200-1350 with crits in the 1950-2200 range.

It's really annoying and stupid we can't refresh Enochian with the skill. If we use the skill while Enochian is at say 6 seconds, the skill will go on cooldown and the duration of Enochian will stay at 6 seconds... Why!

SE forgot that BLMs have to move like all other classes.

Here's what I settled on after a couple of hours of trying different things as a lv60 BLM:

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear it!

I'm just 53, but that looks nice...and also tells me that I need to stop using a controller.

Your core rotations look good, have to experiment more myself. Here's an opener I believe you'll find will do more damage though:

Leylines > B3 > Thunder > Enochian > F3 > Sharp > F1 > RS > F4 > F4 > F3 > pot > F4 > F4 > Swiftcast > Flare > Convert > F4 > B3 > B4

Try it out, see what it feels like. I kinda wanna ommit Thunder from the opener TBH, you can't use that shit if it Thunderclouds usually, you'll destroy your timer, so it's basically just filler to use for MP purposes. Was fiddling around with Sharpcast F1 opener, I it might be good but there's not much room to throw in buffs because you lose both that UI F3 and a guaranteed Firestarter to use buffs on.

I do freakin' hate the opener in real fights though ... boss disappears or shoots an AoE at you, whoop you gotta adjust and hard. Too hard, this isn't like ARR BLM, it's like, you just got destroyed because you lost one GCD. As I mentioned before I'm really really hoping raids are more static and friendly, like FCoB, because I've never felt so tempted to go SMN in my life.

Have to wait and see the numbers! Emphasis on high risk, ??? reward

That opener looks really good! I think it would be safer to move Enochian after Thunder though.

Yes, I agree. We're losing too many procs trying to keep Enochian up

Good point. I'm wondering though if we can get a 30 > 25 runs out > refresh before 3rd thing going on, which was my original intent, but if it's more likely we just wanna do 2 refreshes per Enochian then there, after Thunder's better.

Do we need F4 to have mana for proper rotation? I don't have mana for anything after B3 with normal rotation unless I start it with Firestarter. Or are we in need of some serious PIE?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
