So what our Blm true numbers.

[Licus]

I definitely pull between 350-380 sustained dps on turn 8. The key to this is nuances within the fight.

Currently, I am a crit build with an average ilvl or 98 with an animus weapon just to give you perspective of what a more geared or less geared blm might do.

My advice would be to utilize your CDs with dreads and foes requiem. If you start the fight with raging strikes it should synch up off of CD with every dreadnaught that spawns. Anytime foes requiem is up, try to utilize an x-pot of int. to do major damage. Try to squeeze in flare when dreadnaughts are up, don't flare if it will cost you more downtime than you can afford. SAVE CONVERT FOR DOUBLE FLARE ON DREADS WHEN RAGING STRIKES OR X-POT IS UP!!! This is a substantial dps boost! My dps spikes well above 400 during those parts of the fight. Saving the convert for those parts of the fight allow for your to extend the duration of astral fire while buffed as well as get off a second flare with little sacrifice to dps. Also, try to bank a fire starter proc for when you double flare so you don't have to wait on the very slow hard cast of fire three when exiting the umbral ice part of the rotation.

Only use scathe if you are going to be moving more than one second. The 2.3 ish second GCD is not worth scathe damage if your just going to quickly side step. Scathe is great if you have to move to a tower or move to blow up a mine.

Lastly, if you know there is a part where you are going to have to move in 1-2 seconds, try to always finish your cast and then move. Never move mid cast unless you absolutely have to.
