Still unsure of the optimal single target rotation for BLM

To each their own, but I Thunder II > Swiftcast Fire III > Raging strikes/Mega Int Pot > Fire spam for opener

After that Blizzard III > Blizzard I (Scaythe only if moving) > Thunder II (Thunder I if time is an issue) > Fire III > Fire spam, repeat.

I've also never tried the 251 PIE before...Went out to dummy and did a few runs of 30 INT, then respecced to 21 INT/9 PIE for the 251 PIE, and it lowered my DPS significantly, not to mention looking through the Lodestones of many of the High DPS BLM's, none of them have 251 PIE, so I'm going to disregard that idea as being a DPS increase =P.

I'm curios to see your T1, T4 & T5 DPS ACT SS. Could you please take a fresh one tomorrow or when ever you run Coil. Pie chart breaking down your DPS by spells % would be great addition.

Thanks in advance.

The idea is to have 251 PIE with a SCH in the party, though I can't see 9 points of Int causing "significantly" lower damage to be honest.

As a Midlander I put 29 points into Int and 1 into Piety so that I have 251 PIE with a SCH in the party and I do believe this helps slightly.

Of course it'll be a decrease if you respec your int for it. Look at the thing I posted, it specifically refers to the PIE bonus from having SCH in party and/or food.
