Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

That opener is still decent, but with the change to Astral Fire and our increased spell speed, it is not optimal. I have still yet to see a better opener than the Sharpcast opener as far as Potency goes. It makes better use of oGCDs.

Sharpcast > Quelling > Ley Lines > F1 > Enochian+Raging Strikes > F3P > Potion > F4x3 > Fire > Swiftcast > F4+Convert > F4x2 > F3P* > Blizz 3 > Thunder > Blizz 4.

If you don't use a potion just move Raging Strikes in place of the potion.

That's reliant on a F3 proc near the end which has a chance of not happening. I'd much rather set up B3 >T1 > F3 > pop the skills > F1 >F4x4 > Convert > F3P > F4x3 > B3 > T1/T3P > B4. That way it's all guaranteed.

By starting at max MP you'll get off F4x7 and have just enough for B3.

Course Piety is gonna make all the difference. I sit at 350 because I can.
