Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

That should tell you the state of the BLM in Alex. Oh well.

BLMs with a BRD should top the charts in A1, without BRD is still a respectable dps choice. Like any raid it depends on composition.

Summoner will most definitely outdps BLM on A1S assuming similar skill level + same party composition.

Multi dotting for 70% of the fight and AOEing the adds makes this an easy win for Summoners.

So far the only close fight where both of them are equal/BLM slightly outdpsing SMN is A3S.

Hell, I know a godly Bard that can outdps BLM on this turn as well. He ended at 1050 in i184 with a ballad.

Missing the point. This thread is called "Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS". Not SMN vs BLM and not "I give up on BLM lets try SMN". Its a thread meant to optimize BLM using 3.05 skils,abilities,etc. Don't get me wrong I enjoy SMN but I main BLM and that is where my heart lies.

On a final note I can't comment on whether or not SMN is better for A1. Of course SMN is better for A2, this is a no-brainer. Both classes are relevant in savage, in fact my static is war,pld,sch,whm,mnk,brd, BLM,SMN and for A2 I go SMN. SMN and I fight for top spot in A1 XD
