Is BLM truly simple?

Wow 476 is pretty high. Personally I cap out on T9 generally above 410, current highest was around 420. If you don't mind me asking what's your third phase like o.o?

I haven't parsed third phase as BLM unfortunately but I will next week to see :P Personally if I am going as BLM, I would ask our melee to LB the boss instead to let me triple flare the add + boss with Raging Strikes which is a huge DPS spike. And there isn't much movement in that phase either. SMN is still way better on Golems and P4 though.

And I never said Turn 7 was a DPS race, I just said Summoner will always outdps BLM there assuming equal skill level, which it does.

not sure about that, i saw someone do 470 on t7 can smn do that?

What parser is that ? how are those numbers possible ? And how is the fight duration 3:50 ? Something iffy going on especially since you said your highest T9 pars on SMN was 350 and BLM 360.

Edit: Nvm just noticed you had two BRDs. Probably had Foes on the entire fight.

here parse with one brd

T8 SMN highest is around 450 iirc, and BLM 509 DPS. What parser are you using? I find 400 DPS unmerged on T9 is hard to believe. Get what's everyone using, ACT.

^ pretty much

only parsers i saw with 400+ on t9 were merged

With enough MP, Foe's, and not having to kite, very likely. Unfortunately most groups put their SMN on kiting duty and it's much much harder to see what they can do.

That said MP is a concern in T7 if you go full throttle. The multi-DoTing is killer and the fight's duration is long enough. SMN would need Ballad to bring out its potential, a big no no.

People need to stop throwing around parses like this as if they do that every week. They don't.
