Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Aikaal]

Yeah, SMN does about the same. Stick with w/e you like though, both are perfectly viable. People didn't believe me when I said it was better/equal for A3S but I guess all it took was for one group to clear it with a SMN to change their minds :C

It's all about convenience. Those adds that you bane, painflare and deathflare the new set of adds. This means you do nothing about the old ones and it stress your group further. It is also easier to achieve those numbers on SMN but BLM wins just because Apoc buffs 20% of those 20k+ cleaves. This allows your heals to DPS more. There has to be a reason why a group with BLM cleared A3S 2 days before a group with SMN I jsut simply goes what's the best for the group and BLM is best for this imho.
