Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

There was no explicit mention of punishment, but there was no explicit mention of no punishment.
The closest is "I would like to mention that should we find tools which unjustifiably control the client process speed, or tools which modify the packets, we will not hesitate to carry out punishment such as banning the offending players. "

Which sounds like since they found a problem, they punished.

I know what the response from yoshi p said. I'm talking about the response from the quote in my post, " ....is still able to login ingame (Today)...."

If they can still log in, then nothing of significance happened for cheating.

Usually they do it in a batch Monday night. I can't remember the name so I can't see anymore ;_;

No, there were people that were really cheating, I.e speeding up their cast times via third party. This was exposed by parsing actually. So ya... parsing is good.

Thats good, I got scared when I saw that last part cause that's what parsing does I think.

So how's it looking for that ice - F3 - F4x4 - B3 rotation if you had enough SS to get discounted B3?

Random comment; I missed at 540 accuracy in A4S >.>. Something weird happened to my buff, made me go wtf, looked up at parser "Miss : 1". I sighed a sigh of sadness. Thought it was 540 from the reddit post under "Useful Information." Oh well though.

Sure that wasn't melee miss and just a late F1 or whatever you were doing? Never missed anything but autos with 546 acc.

Yes I'm sure. The miss was right next to my name not any of the melee. I haven't missed above 540, but at 540 I missed 1.

You don't need a discounted B3 actually. You only have to get to the B3's cast and make it quick cast, and you're fine, you'll have enough MP to do any spell in the game after the B3.

Regardless I did some math a while back and the rotation PPS (assuming you can't/don't want to do F1 F4 X4) it goes F4 X4 with fast B3 > F1 F4 F4 F4 with of course fast B3 > F4 X4 with slow B3.

F1 F4 F4 F4 is a worse rotation than F4 F4 F1 F4 F4, I've tested it and posted some basic math a few pages earlier.

About the time in UI3: You're not completely right, you have to consider that the fast B3 cast is faster than the GCD, which means that the time in UI3 is the same, but the timespan we can act is smaller.

Oh I'm not arguing if F1 F4 F4 F4 is better than F4 F4 F1 F4 F4. I am arguing that in a situation where you will end up with 600 MP after B3 you should use a different rotation for that, and trust me that's gonna be pretty dang constant.

Would it then be better to just F3 F4x3 instead, ie. leaving the F1 out?
