Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

I see someone posted 4.x rotation is higher pps and to shelf the 3.0 hybrid? Some data would be nice to accompany the claim. The only reason I'm ever using B4 in my rotation are the following: 1, it's the opener; 2, convert is coming off CD; 3, i get a slow mana tick. I don't really see the reason to use it otherwise unless there's cold hard facts in favor of a 4.x rotation.

Your reasoning for using B4 is correct. I use it with LL rather than convert (since they line up every other LL) since LL makes your rotation go faster, so I want a few more spells in there to keep Foul timer nice and easy. But otherwise yea. It goes 5xF4 rotation > 6xF4B4 rotation > 4xF4 rotation.
