DPS parsing Black Mage numbers since patch

[Darkstarz]

Only issue is that macro's don't queue up. Hence the reason I went away from this sort of thing.

99% of the time your waiting for mana ticks anyway, why would not queuing be an issue?

I wish there was a way we could just see the global dot/hot/mana timer. That way we could work around it. With the change it is just so inconsistent now.

actually it seems to happen every eorzean minute which you can see when change your ingame clock

99% of the time I can get insta-ticks. You just need to get used to the buff changes.

I have no issues working around the mana ticks. There was no change to how ticks work, just how we gain the last one. Before the patch we would get our 2nd tick mere seconds before we changed into AF but since we lose UI before that we don't get that 2nd tick anymore.

All you have to do is add an extra GCD after you get your first mana tick (Blizzard, Thunder, Scathe) and you're fine.

What are the more practical numbers looking like? In coil or primals?

If you want to judge any Job DPS, judge it based on Twintania or Titan Ex. Everything else is secondary to these two as they matter the most IMHO.

Yeah I agree, just curious what they are parsing in those fights. I know they are usually very good.

From what I have seen so far, Excellent MNK out dps everyone second close would be SMNs and third BLM.

Its all dependant on gear, skill and fight limitations.

We do not run with summoners so i cannot comment on they're dps, Monks are stupid op with they're buffs in 2.1 noone can come close to matching they're dps.

On most fights your looking at being number 2 damage wise, both Titan and Twintania should be around 220-250 i would say. Probably higher if you have full set, im currently stuck at ilvl 86 waiting for the legs to drop.....

Umm, BLM should be parsing 280+ on Twintania. Too much AOE during the intiial phase and snakes to drop down to the 200 range, unless the BLM gets excessive stuns/conflags.

Monks are extremely susceptible to bad RNG on Twintania. Their encounter DPS can fluctuate by like 60 from stuns and conflags, nevermind general drops like divebombs.
