Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

[Tman00]

Thats the thing I keep hearing over and over and over again. Sounds like a good way to balance things..

By all means keep playing BLM if you enjoy it a lot. I know I enjoy it a lot.

But I sadly jumped ship to RDM for now until BLM gets the buffs it needs. I enjoy BLM, but when RDM is just insanely easier and consistent. Its hard to stick with BLM with where its atm.

We'll see. I believe these buffs put us a good bit ahead of RDM for DPS. The cast time reduction and the elimination of the mana tick issue (6xF4 every time regardless of mana tick) is a decent DPS increase.

B4 will still be not worth it sadly. There needs to be a damage increase to Umbral hearts to be worth using. The buffs really didn't fix the issue. And even if we do go past RDM in DPS. Its rDPS combined with its pDPS will still easily beat us.

We'll see. Embolden is around a 1% rDPS, which is significant, but depends how much higher BLM pDPS is now. The buffs should give us 3.5-4% more DPS.
