Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Milkbeard]

Hey, I've seen some blms melding a small amount of piety on their gear. Could anyone link me back to where this may have been discussed on this thread? Just how common is this? How worth it is it? Getting that thunder out?

There hasn't been that much of a discussion about it, a few comments here and there. Two PIE V melds lets you always get that T1 off instead of doing B1. I was thinking about doing it, but didn't in the end. Now whatever it's worth it or not is really hard to say. You lose a few secondaries to sometimes convert B1 into T1 and maybe get an extra TC through that. You most likely won't ever notice the loss of 24 secondaries and natural RNG affects your DPS more than that amount of stats, so I guess?

I've been doing some playing around and if you meld 2 Pie 5's you can get F4x2 F1 F4x3 and go to B3 no problem for the first 2 rounds of Enochian. Without Ley Lines and without Convert. Threshold for this is the number 10,960 MP. Wait for the mana tick before you go into F3. Only going to work if you start with B3. You's probably want 310 to make it happen. As a Hellsguard and the 35 bonus I sit at 318.

Just note for reference the first Enoch round you can sneak in a T1 after your B3 before B4. 2nd round is not possible I believe.

Meld 5 Pie V's and you can get yourself a 4th Fire 2 and have just enough for your Flares. By waiting for the Mana tick and going into F3 you can do F2x4 leaving you with 896 MP whereas minimum cost for Flare is 884.

And this is only if you pumped all 35 of your points into Piety as well. Which for me is 351. I only put Pie 5's into the right side slots.

That is as far as I would go though.

whoa so u can get 5 fire IVs in per cycle? did i read that right? I am a dunesfolk. I have 264 piety.

Only the first 2 cycles if you have 310 Piety or higher. You can get a 3rd set of 5 if you use Ley Lines on your 3rd cycle.

At 311 Piety you can get that extra F4 in, but you'll be waiting for a MP tick after your B3, and you need to make sure you are at max MP when your F3 lands.

If you do go down the Piety road, don't use your 35 bonus attributes on it, that's just bad.
