    BLM in Turn 6. Any pro tips?

    I'm having a hard time maintaining good dps in T6. Between all of the random movement, target switching and blighted, my dps just isn't cutting it and I feel like I'm bringing my static down. Any advice?

    1.)Never take two steps when one will do.
    2.) always dps while moving (proc > swift cast > scathe).
    3.) you can't aetherial manipulate out of briars so be sure to just be on the edge of them


    Keeping your moving down to a minimum is really key in this fight and I really can't suggest tips without knowing what strat you are using. Just follow the ABC's of Black Mage: always be casting

    From 100% to 40%: our strat here is to have the marked person run to the briar patch most behind the mob, while the rest of the pt gets on tanks. We prioritize burning the bee and burning any briars that spawn on the boss in the middle. I've been trying to make getting thunder on the bee a top priority, since it can tick thru blighted. But my biggest issue has been being able to spike dps on the briar that may or may not spawn in the middle after the bee is dead. I feel like I've burnt most of my procs trying to kill the bee and my spike damage on that briar (if it falls middle) is abysmal.

    Sadly, your accuracy is low, try to boost it up to around 450+ and try again

    Use sprint whenever devour is coming up to get where you need to be quick. Also, like Altimis said, you need more accuracy. I've missed a few times (its rare, but still misses) at 446 accuracy, though I've got more than that now.

    In our group,we prioritize movement from anyone but me(DRG) and the blm.We're the highest dps and moving is cutting it.Ofc we do move sometimes but if it's possible for us to not moving,we won't.
    T6 really need some nasty dps so it's easier for us that way.
    Btw yes your accuracy is way too low.You need 452~(around this)to not miss.

    i see. thanks for the tips guys. i have other gear i can use to hit the acc cap, so that shouldn't be an issue. But i need to convince my static to make other dps move around and let me plant as much as possible. Thats my biggest issue i think.

    Just curious, but how successful are you guys at breaking vine if it's in the blm without the blm moving?
