Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Granyala]

Just a quick question: what is the expected DPS for a BLM with an item level of ~ 178 (180 weapon) in Void ark?

Finally tried my BLM in a "real world" scenario outside of mob farming yesterday and was left rather depressed after I took a look at ACT.
Depending on movement and healer-derp deaths I was around 500 to 670. Want to know how far off the mark I was because I am masochistic that way. ._.

Thanks.

I happened to be online and I still hang with my FFXIV friends.

109 Int, 115 Vit, 97 Det, 71 Crit

I hope you'll enjoy having a long grind to downgrade your 210 Staff to high Det + low Crit. Being unable to change your stats is lame.

Also, I hope you'll enjoy the most WHM looking BLM staff ever lol.

Last weapon.

Erm... okaay.

That does indeed look quite unfitting.

I actually like that weapon's looks. I don't really care about being dark/black as a BLM, a weapon's a weapon in my eyes, and it's a nice looking staff.

That said, those stats are KILLING my interest. My dream of mid-CHR/high-SS i215 relic, down the tube, forever lost.

It's a pretty model, for sure.

But if you'd shown me the pic w/o telling me what class it is for I'd have said "cool new whitemage weapon".

No big deal if it were some random staff, but that should NOT happen with class iconic weapons such as this.

I still think they mixed the designs up and the displayed whm staff is the actual blm staff and vice versa

how much int is +1 weapon damage atm?

Staff has no spell speed so my interest in getting it went to 0%.
