    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.

    I highly doubt it's anywhere near that for a blm; I once took down a level <5 mob as 50 blm with just melee, it took about 4 swings.

    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.

    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.
    Are you clueless?



    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.
