Help with DPS in Turn 7 as a BLM

[StubHub]

I'm not one to advocate not trying to improve DPS. However, you mentioned it was your first time through it. Becoming comfortable with mechanics first and foremost "should" increase your DPS. IMO, while learning T7, tunnel vision mechanics, not the dps. The DPS check is nearly non existent(outside of 1st add set for learning groups).

Once you're comfortable with the fight, these are some things to work on to improve DPS.

- 4 seconds or more on voice = casting (as mentioned)
- AM to return from shriek depending on distance while shrieking (fireball pending)
- Prepare for being shriek target. Keep tabs on distance from renaud and yourself. Make use of the fact you can cast and move within last portion of cast bar (while still firing off next spell as soon as gcd is up) to inch close to renaud to minimize amount of time you spend running to renaud if you're shriek target.
- 2nd add set. Position/Dps/CD dependent. SC/Flare/Convert Melusine/add. During umbral if convert not up. T2 as normal, SC T3 last prioritized add to try and cheese a proc. If you do get one, toss back on melusine or another add if it will last duration. And that's one thing in general i see many BLM do. Basically throwing away additional damage and chances at procs by firing off T3 on current target the second TC procs (when it's about to die)regardless of whether there is another target that you could be putting it on where you can make use of the actual DoT uptime.
