Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Spiroglyph]

so what about the cases when you have multiple thundercloud procs? on that note, is it viable to do the sharpcast > thunder3(thundercloud proc) > thunder3(sharpcast proc)

Ideally you'll refresh a t3 proc when the previous one is about to fall off (I avoid applying any new t3s when the previous one is still at >5s), as the previous dot will not be dishing out it's full damage and will be overwritten, this is most cases ends up being a DPS loss and you should instead try to use f4 or f1, or if available f3 proc.

Following that logic sharpcasting t3 followed by using the resulting proc, imo would only be a dps gain if you used the proc on a different target, to let the DOT do all the damage. I never really do this because hardcasting t3 takes way too long too long though. :/

EDIT: Afaik priority is T3 proc - F4 - F3 proc - F1 (this obviously assuming you have enochian up always and enough time to refresh it), this only changes if your target is already with the thunder dot, in which situation you need to carefully juggle the remaining time on your proc and the time left on thunder on the target (i.e your t3 proc just popped, have 10s until it falls off, target's thunder dot is at 8s - you can afford to wait a few seconds to throw out proc and refresh it, meanwhile you can use another F4)

I'm still a scrub blm though, so please take this all with a grain of salt
