Help with DPS in Turn 7 as a BLM

[Nukocafe]

if you have too much dps in t7 it will throw off your voices & shrieks anyway.
my group actually had to lower our DPS and me (the kiter) basically stopped dpsing and just focused on kiting except when I'd throw a few DOTs on the ads.
T6 and T7 are really unfavorable for a black mage (which is also why I switched to smn to begin with) but you should be able to shine in T8 =)

I disagree, t6 and t7 are both fine for a BLM now.

It does take more practice for a BLM, but we can certainly keep up with the other DPS classes on those turns.

Never said you can't keep up, you just have to do a lot more work to find ways to "weave in your casts" so that there's no DPS loss while dealing with stuff like vine breaking,bulbs, boquets, voices and shrieks. A really good BLM will know the mechanics and be able to put out a lot of DPS but I think the average person will be stuck at a disadvantage.\

I was too lazy to bother becoming one of those good BLMs so switching back to summoner was a lot easier for me. I began the game as a scholar anyway :P
