Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Lilyth]

Add Foul to both UI cycles and that becomes 152 VS 149 pps, favouring the 3.X one. If the base MP buff (and the no MP Foul) allow for the 3.X rotation to get one more Fire IV, then the 3.X rotation yields around 155 pps.

Oh and just one more thing RQ. You can't add foul. Not only because it is a constant in both, but it will never be in the same place in a rotation unless the rotation is exactly 30 seconds, which is neither the case for 3.0 and 4.0. If you add Foul, it inevitably will yield a higher PPS in a shorter rotation and vice-versa for a longer one, which is exactly what is giving the 3.0 rotation an edge in your calculations. But that is false since Foul is in a set timer and, therefore, affects both rotations the exact same way (PPS-wise).
