Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

It feels Spell Speed will get a stronger impact. That said, they definitely missed the train on making Thundercloud part of the rotation. First dummy try when I logged I did 1220 single target Dummy 4 minutes parse with an X-Potion. The buff is noticeable and I guess you lose less DPS from moving if you get more procs.

Fact is Thundercloud is superior to Fire IV. You need to clip a Thunder dot higher than 18 seconds to actually lose DPS versus Fire IV. So you might lose some Fire IVs but it's still a gain and a proc = mobility. There is also a situation you can Enochian in the middle of your astral fire so you don't lose any Fire IV. At best, you get a Thundercloud and replace that Fire IV by a Fire I which is still a DPS gain.

Been doing some Alex NM farm before we can raid later ... BLM feels exactly the same... I kind of wonder why they did it in the first place when the complaints were about Enochian timers.

Thanks for the feedback on this.

I wonder if it's worth it to create a new thread about the latest BLM Changes to get it more visibility to the Dev Team?

Buried in this BLM thread, I'm not sure if they'll see our thoughts on this?
