Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Sleigh]

Have you tried SMN there ? How is it compared to BLM ?


Also, any estimates on what the accuracy cap is, there ?

ACC cap is still low, I think I'm 560ish and 0 misses. Healers barely miss still with melded accessories.

SMN vs BLM in there ... that's an interesting one. From what I've played of the fight, SMN does still quite excel because you can get your multi-DoT on including some double hit Deathflares, and the add phase enemies live long enough for SMN to do more work than in normal mode, and of course magnet +/- are back in full force which favor SMN heavily. That said most groups I know of are using BLM in our gear because it makes the DPS checks simpler in our gear, and the enrage is REAL so if there's any way for BLM to out-DPS SMN (and in the first half, there is), you want it.

Honestly I'd say SMN is as good or maybe even better with great play due to some factors but BLM is the safe bet, as weird as that sounds.

Yeah, I will still have to see how I do as SMN there myself but if the DPS checks are as bad as people are making it out to be, I will have to end up switching to the highest caster DPS on that fight even if it's just by a marginal difference. And good thing we can keep switching back and forth between casters for now, since the AF2 gear difference won't be an issue till week 3 anyway.

Speaking of DPS, has anyone tried using BLM on A2S ? So far with SMN I've been sitting at around 2.1k 6:30 minutes into the fight and I just wanna know how does BLM compare there.
