Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[TwiissTwiiss]

According to Ariyala. it´s
SS 0.281
DET 0.246
CRIT 0.234

Those are the 2.x Stat weights.

Then s/he didn´t update, but as I said, personally, i don´t care much about the weights, i go for SS for movement/aoe dodging and the rest is freely distributed as accuracy cap is met.
What´s quite hard, as in the gearing step, you so overshoot Accuracy with BLM Gear, and 210 pieces still got tons of Accuracy...

But as a matter of fact, on the site something WAS changed. I created a BiS Setup before, and bought my Eso stuff according to it, now after patch 3.1 I recalculated and it now show´s some other pieces in the i210 range i hadn´t on the plan.

But I had no urge to look out what changed.

I personally just put alot of SS and Crit into my character but my problem is, I got these really bad 210 Diadem Pants BUT I'm still using the 190 Gordian pants so I don't know if the 15 INT on the pants outweigh 74Det and 20Crit loss. However at this point I shouldn't really care about it. Tuesday I'll be getting the eso pants and upgrade them as I'm lacking a little bit of accuracy.

[Waliel]

If the weighs are anything similiar to other jobs (0.12-0.15), then yes, the 15 int is better. Side grade at worst.

On a totally unrelated note: Aikaal looks so weird as a cat.

Thordan so good on BLM after getting the hang of it. I thought SMN would be kings on this fight at first but goddamn, BLM still seems to destroy this fight despite what many would consider to be a movement heavy fight.

Currently hitting 1160 w/ no bard and ninja, I feel like this is yet another fight which might seem unfriendly for BLMs at first, but becomes very easy once you get comfortable w/ it.

Yep! I love it. Their utility is so good too, Manaward/wall are excellent in this fight and I've been able to save many people with Apoc.

Can you upload a run? I only seem to be able to hit 997 at most with an ilvl of 197 at the time.

Would you mind telling me what moves are physical vs. magical? In some cases, I find myself popping both ward and wall just to be safe. I assume both the tether charge and prey are physical.

Meteorain, Lightning Storm, The Dragon's Rage, Ancient Quaga, Heavensflame, Conviction, Skyward Leap (blue prey), Holiest of Holy, Hiemal Storm, Comets, Spear of The Fury are all magical so Manaward and Apoc are really good. You don't really need it for most of those but I tend to pop it in the beginning so I don't need to move from Meteorain, during Comets if I have Holy Meteor, during the annoying part with chains+meteor+hiemal, and near the end if we get to the AOE part.

Manawall isn't as good but it can be useful for Spiral Pierce (tether) and it can be useful for Sacred Cross near the end of the fight if you make it that far.

Wow! Thank you so much. Anything to help the healers out in this fight. Could have sworn Holy Meteor was physical, but now I know better.
