Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

What I'd want to know is how many BRD/MCH would it take to regen enough MP to constantly cast Flare if that is even possible? Lowest I'd need is around 999 MP. How much per tick would the regen effects of a BRD/MCH give each?

Pretty sure Flare is just below 900 MP or does the base cost increase with PIE? Never even thought about that. Ballad is like 200 per tick or something. I'd guess you're gonna need a couple ticks with both BRD and MCH around.

Minimum cost for Flare is 1/4 the cost of Fire 3. In AF, that makes it 884 at level 60.

Which also just so happens to be the mp cost of sleep and Blizzard 4.

Also @Garotte14 I've been using your opener and I've found that, with my latency/internet, my swiftcasted Fire IV clips into the next gcd about 70% of the time because of a delay in the updating of my mp, which prevents me from starting the cast if I use convert in the gcd right before it. I've been moving both swiftcast and convert up by 1 gcd, but this ends up with having used swiftcast on a Fire I, which is pretty useless. I'll be trying to move it around more to see, I think that after the first Fire I and 2 Fire IV's I should be able to get full use out of convert, but I'll be testing it later. My latency isn't usually bad, so just wanted to share my experience using your opener so that others that try it know alternatives and workarounds for latency/lag issues.
