BLM Buffs Inc!

[RockinFr]

It's not crying, it's trying to understand how guys on forums with i96 are 370+ dps with crazy rotations and ig you never see them. That's it. And u can't ignore all mechanics on T8, u will always have a little thing to do and lower a bit your dps.

And first u can lower your accuracy, 493 is really too much... It's a start for you... Buy the legs 90 craft.

You can always ignore ALL mechanics on T8.Only if your party will allow you and your party member to help. Like your healer will step tower instead of dps or monk/smn step mine. So all you need to do is just about DPS and DPS. The only thing that will reduce your dps in T8 is w6 AF. If you don't get it. It's easy to get 350+ as ilv95+ blm.Ofc this need x-mega pot and double flare+ragestirke+foe for dread or spam poison on avatar and gain about 5-10dps. Also your gear is...wrong. So that would explain why you are hitting so low.

I play blm for t6-9 and I do a consistent 450dps on every turn. Even our monks can't keep up they normally only do about 400. Blm has the most single target dps in the game, and if you don't believe it you are wrong.

Oh I know I have too much acc, I would love to lower it.

Im just overall depressed that I go from top dps on turn 5, to complete garbage on turns 6-9.

Im thinking I lose out on dps because Im told to use a poison pot at beginning and pop the north tower.

I would give up and go smn but I got the BLM 110 staff so im sort of stuck being a BLM.

No offense, but your parser is broken. Or your monks are near 500 dps if you are 370 on T8. I'm i100, i110 weapon and i'm max 340-350 on T8 in doing almost nothing (bomb pattern) with every buffs u can + staff hits during all fight.

On ACT, our monks are around 400 max, SMN 375 max (and they are pretty good) On T8 we skip last phase (only 3 dreads) and we finish it in 9m20-30. So i need some explanations!

This was this week's t8 run. I was ilvl 101 at the time. The bard played foes in the beginning and then for short burst later on. Getting 350-370 dps is very reasonable for ilvl95-98 with a 100 / 110 weapon. The monk had a low-ish parse and i pulled the fight with lb.

^ Poiton pot showed by ACT

BLM only needs a slight fire buff and scathe to be reverted back to original.

BLM is the only DPS really who can go all out without worrying about resources, we just need longer content.

Ill come back to this in a bit.

I always figured that you would lose DPS when double flaring on two mobs. Well, not two but triple flare maybe. I take it you use ethers?
AF3 - Swiftcast Flare - Convert - Flare - Mega ether - Flare?
I always feel uncomfortable when I have to use transpose, seems like such a waste of time. But I can see it working.
I don't know what would be more beneficial. To double flare, use your mega either or whatever and start casting blizzard III or going triple flare and transpose.

There's actually a method to getting two Flares in a row without doing anything in between. I open with Fire 3 and sometimes Fire 2 twice, then Flare. After that use Transpose. Wait until you get the first tick of MP back, then wait 2 seconds and cast Flare. If you time it right, as soon as Flare goes off Umbral Ice should give you one more tick of MP before it switches to Astral Fire, allowing you to cast Flare again right away. You can repeat this infinitely after that with Transpose>get MP+wait 2seconds>Flare>Flare.

But when you need some serious burst AoE it is nice to get two Flares with Convert in Astral Fire form

If it is larger groups of mobs i actually flare after mp is low (from Fire 2)
then flare> convert> flare> mega potion> flare
I do use swiftcast in there as well but it varies from person to person on when to use it.
Also lately i have timing my rotations right so that i can use flare and Firestarter
You do loose dps from transpose, so you are correct.
Brayflox HM for instance i always 3x flare
