Blue Mage damage

[Symon17]

But I know for a fact SoT increased my damage (when I was testing without the primal spells I tried with it and without it to see if bristling SoT vs skipping made a difference while doing mainly Off-Guard and glower spam (Peculiar Light when UP of course).)

Thanks for verifying.

Well, if you're consistently hitting 550 then that's your DPS. I approximated a DPS range between 400 and 500, 50 above that isn't too far off. I wasn't optimizing and I only tried it twice.

I was originally confused because I believe we're all doing the same rotation (more or less, there isn't a lot to play with as far a BLU goes), and the general consensus seems to be that BLU has poor DPS for level 50 (some are going so far as to say it's "atrocious"). I've tested so many times at this point, and the range I'm getting is 540-580. I've done what I can to verify that my numbers are accurate, so I'm not sure where the discrepancy lies. That's where all of the questioning comes from (though I do get that it's probably pretty annoying).


When sync'd to 50, my SMN was pulling numbers in the high 500s. So when considering the utility BLU brings at that level, it feels somewhat fairly balanced. That's all I'm trying to say.
