BLM SHOULD BE NUMBER UNO AS SELFISH DPS THEY GOT STRIP AWAY ALL THERE UTILITY.SO SUPPOSELY THEY SHOULD HIT HARD EVEN HARDER THAN SAM OR EQUAL OR ABIT MORE THAN SAM.BUT RIGHT NOW SMN IS WRECKING BALL THEY NEED TO GET TONED DOWN OR OTHER JOBS SHOULD GET BUFFS.SE WILL DECIDE WHAT TO CHOOSE NERF OR BUFF.ILL FEEL BAD FOR BLMS THEY DESERVES TO BE LIKE DAMN SON A BLM NOT LOLBLM.

I mean, you're not really wrong, but it's not what you say...

Still not entirely sure what is better and I've been sitting on savage books for weeks now thinking of what to get and 2000 creation. What should I be getting? Someone in this thread said crit and then some say dh etc. Please help me decide what mix of savage and creation pieces I need as blm.

This is a gear set many have built and are building towards. The 1917 sps hits a nice break point on gcd reductions without any sps waste. It hasn't been proven if it's a mathematical BiS but it's certainly a solid gear set to build towards.

Ok, no insult meant, but I've seen this mentioned a few times already, but how does this issue even come up? I have a hard time imagining ever running into this problem.

like when I transpose, im in ice astral ..

insteasd of hard casting fire 3 under one astral ice, I'd like to sharpcast fire 1to get fast into three fire astral, without losing enochian / foul g
build up

[Remedi]

No offense but you could at that point use swift

[Shiroe]

ofc, if I have swift up..., or want to save it

[Remedi]

Yes but the point is when progressing ina fight as a BLM you aim to plan your CDs usage, granted if we could have a 30 secs duration on firestarter and thunderfcloud that would be a great Qol, but honestly in the rankings of our current problems the one you bring up is actually very low tier imho since you can already play around with it

[Shiroe]

using fire 1or 2 after transpose or in any ice astral should keep enochian up, but it doesnt..

and imo it is an issue, that you have use fire 3 after transposing, or you lose enochian / foul build up.., that "hard cast" fire 3 after transpose is a pain, while after fire 1 there's at least a chance to proc

not saying losing enochian under those circumstances is the "biggest" blm issue, but it is an issue and annoying

[Dualgunner]

How much time would you honestly save on dps if you could fire 1 from ui1 and keep enochian, versus just hardcasting fire 3? You're using roughly the same amount of time when gcd is taken into account unless I'm mistaken.

[Shiroe]

if you proc a fire 1 or sharpcast it, its faster ... and your more mobile

found myself a few times, after needing to traspose into ice astral, that a fire 1 (proc or sharpcast) would help... (like after a phase change and have movement coming in).., hard casting fire 3 can be a pain..

dont see, why enochian a has to fall off nomatter what, unless you cast fire 3

ofc, swifcast helps, but dont want to have to use it aftet transposing (prefer to use a sharpcast, it it would work)

[Dualgunner]

Are you really saving time though? You're losing a whole gcd for the sake of "mobility" which, if that's your concern, you should be using swift and triple because they're there for mobility's sake.
