Someone should Parse the mage AA damage. Maybe if it's like 2k a minute it might be worh it.

Actually came here to ask what people here thought about mage AA as the Gamefaqs topic got pretty heated.
The ruin/2 and psycicks are there to illustrate how AA damage changes with cast times. DPS is from a minutes worth of hits.
SMN:
Titan Book: 49.28 AA Damage/3.36 delay
452 INT/ 182 STR/ 295 det
AA hits for 70~, 100 on Crit
Ruin hits for 170~, 270~ on Crit
AA only: 24 dps(18~ hits)
Ruin only: 80 dps (23~ hits)
Ruin+AA: 84 dps(23~ ruin, 6~ AA)(2.44 cast)
Psycick spam + AA: 11 dps (8~ AA)(1.95 cast)
Ruin 2+AA: 104(!) dps (23~ ruin, 18~ AA)(instant)
Overall if you spam a minute full of ruin 2 your auto attacks can add up to 1.4k worth of damage. While you'll never get that full amount due to reapplication of dots I'm sure you've all had those times where 1k in damage more would have meant victory.
this is the first time i heard caster should do auto attack XD
really? i think i will try it, healing while hitting boss with my staff rather than stone it
dont want ppl to think i'm crazy or something
oops this is dps roles forum >.< should read it first but really?![]()

I run in for 2 reasons:
1. Blizzard to stun/blind w/e
2. Miasma 2
SMN can easily afford to get in to auto attack. My biggest problem is forgetting to right click the boss when I do think about it. But for us the damage is basically another DoT proc but on a longer timer
I know there are widely different variables at play, but as a DRG my auto attack is my single highest dps ability, contributing about 30% of my over all damage iirc.
i don't have this problem
Are you clueless?
Plus, this would would only be viable on farm content or ones you stand in melee regardless. For fights where you do stand there, sure - right click the boss and get your damage. Otherwise, don't bother.
For anything you're progressing in, then you probably can't expect complete stability. And that's what's required for a BLM to justify being in melee and gaining dps.
Ruin 2+AA: 104(!) dps (23~ ruin, 18~ AA)(instant)
You do realize how much damage this is right? That even with full cast casting your dots and shadow flare in there(no quickcast on any) that this would still give you 1080 damage over the course of just 1 minute. That is the equivalent of around 4-6 ruins or 10-15 seconds, and that is just if its only one person doing it. I don't know what you're thinking but most of the mini enrage timers are at least a min and there are tons of times where 1000 extra damage would have made or broke the fight.
