Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

Hello

Can i ask whats the current BiS with melds for Blm as of now?
Lately people prefer spell speed now right?

It's hard to say definitively what's BIS as that can change from fight to fight. Not to mention that we don't yet have accurate stats weights yet. But if I had to give a rough guess, I'd say: SS-0.23, Crit-0.20, Det-0.18. I have no proof of that, that's my best estimation. Either way I have this as my current BiS.

Quick question. For the new current Hard Mode dungeon could you bypass the Blind from Mana Pots with Hawk's Eye? Please and thank you.

Just turn around when they cast it. I wouldn't cross class a skill that would only slightly raise your acc for one attack on one pull in one dungeon.

I was wondering about BiS too. What gear sets would you recommend using 220 - 230 gear, and only using guaranteed melds? This would be with the goal of getting into Midas Savage, and upgrading to 240 gear. (I don't mind buying some crafted gear. I just don't want to blow millions on pieces that will be obsolete soon)
Thanks!

This is a tough question. If your goal is to get a sorta BiS with 220-230 gear without overmelds, I can't tell you off the top of my head, but Lore Pants are BIS, so buy those. I would say the crafted bracket and one crafted ring are also really great. Crafted belt is also nice, but the Crafted Chest is the best chest you get until A8S. Since it'd be awhile for that, I recommend pentamelding the chest piece at least. This is my current set. No luck yet with any drops in savage.
