Black Mage CRIT vs. DET Builds - Latest Info?

[Empressia]

There's two types of DPS :

1. Alpha (big numbers, high cooldown) aka burst (heavy damage, slow attack speed) which prefers CRIT (imagine rocket launcher)
2. DPS / DPM or whatever term each MMO is using (low numbers, very low cooldown) aka sustained (normal hits, very fast attack speed, DoTs) which in FF14 prefers DET (imagine machine gun)

However, the hardcap of sps/sks atm is 10% lower GCD or max 2.25s cd instead of 2.50s cd, problem with DET/CRIT it is actually revolves around Firestarter proc RNG, so lets just say : if RNG loves u, u sure wanna CRIT for all those Fire3 bonus, but if RNG spits u in the face, u might prefer DET for ur fire1 sustained spam.
In addition to that, lets not forget about Flare, which is definitely a burst damage, even if Flare is spammable, u still wanna go CRIT for it

In conclusion, DET > CRIT if BLM rotation is Fire1, Blizzard1, Scathe spam
