Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Hontaro]

You can also use a Thundercloud proc during your AF3 rotation when using after F1 (UI3 -> F3 -> F4 x2 -> F1 -> [F4x2 and T3p in any order] -> B3). With this, you can use a Thundercloud proc that otherwise would be wasted and you can use B1 instead of T1 in your UI3 rotation. You can also save them and use them when you have to move. In the case of having both Firestarter and Thundercloud, in most situations T3p will have a higher potency (remaining thunder dot <15s).

Regarding crit: Somebody did the maths for it already, don't know about the weights though.
It should also be noted that ALL secondary stats are now weighted less, so it is probably wise to go with the higher iLvl gear most of the time.

Is there any reason you use Swiftcast for F3 in your opener?
