Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Sleigh]

So.... I did A4 with Voiced Foe, RS, Pot, TA, Extended Empowered Balance, Selene opener and I bursted for 4.2k-4.3k DPS single target lol. The true hero is the Ninja that gave me Smokescreen. I did 2 F4 Crit for almost 12k each.

:< I do believe if you have an AST that Balance is best invested on a BLM since we have the highest burst opener.

I agree, Arrow and Balance should go on a Foe'd BLM. That said, with a MCH instead of a BRD, I believe that honor goes to DRG (maybe not the Arrow part, but the Balance part).

So I am currently leveling BLM as my alt. Is it worth it to use at 60? I know mobility and loosing the Fire 4 and Blizzard 4 is a problem atm, but I figure they'll fix that eventually.

The short answer is: yes, it is definitely worth it.

Longer answer: some fights are better than others but overall I feel BLM is in a really nice spot currently. There's small things you need to get used to and figure out that 2.x's BLM just didn't have to worry as much about, but BLM has come away from the big changes each job saw in Heavensward smelling like roses.

As someone who's mained BLM since Beta 4, I can say it was easy to pick up. Definitely much more intensive process as far as figuring out fights but that has only made it more rewarding for me.

I once ran into you in Vault while we were both 58. Am I famous now?

That sweet super Arrow, Ley Lines, etc.; I dropped to 1.67 GCD once. It makes our MT complain how he has to use more Halones to keep up. Then 30 seconds later you randomly get Ewer and start wondering what to do with all this mana.

YAY A BETA PLAYER. I dont feel lonely anymore.

Them Archers in Beta 1 and their Far Shot. Or was it Snipe Shot? Whatever. All that sliding, too.

I do have to confess that I started as a SCH, as I've pretty much been a career healer, but somehow I got delegated to the BLM role down the line.

1160 on A4, no AST. That's about 100 higher than my highest SMN A4 run :/ Getting quarantine as SMN is way worse than BLM.


Ah well, SMN is still better on A1 & 2.

Noice, did you use food and/or int-pots?
Also how long was the run?
