    1404 Potency per mob is some great front loaded damage. I'm curious what type of numbers/rotation a BLM would perform after that initial burst, and how long the recovery would be Transposing into Umbral I.
    Recovery wouldn't be any longer than any other rotation ending in Flare. Transpose, and you have some MP back in 3 seconds or less. Toss a Thunder or Blizzard if you want, hard-cast Fire III and you're back to the start of the regular rotation. It would be a while before you could do anything so excessive again, but it's easy to end any rotation with a single Flare > Transpose.

    Just doing some quick numbers then, between BLM recovery and SMN being able to continually Dot further Bennu's, as long as SMN dots get to tick for 15 seconds or more and including the loss in AOE as Bennus die, SMN can gain 200 Potency per set of Bennu's over BLM rotation.

    So ~800 Potency over the course of the Bennu's - So from that 1400 Potency from BLM can do at the start, SMN can catch up to within ~100 Potency of that over the life of the Bennu's. But BLM will still have 100 Potency X the number of initial Bennu's (400 Potency)

    So I'd think SMN can catch up on that 400 Potency somewhere.
