Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

You need to change the mode in order to all options. Its hard to explain. The moblie friendly mode you're using is limited. I'm on my phone now and can do everything.

Sorry to continue the derail, but yes, the Mobile version of the site is missing options, if you run the site in desktop mode you will be able to edit posts and so forth.

Wouldn't it be safe to say that t3 is still low on priority? I've had best luck of not trying to force it into the rotation. Instead fitting it in when it profs and the opportunity seems right. Occasionally cutting out that last f4 to save the proc which would be a better qol choice anyway.

The rotation should be the same, with the exception sometimes using swift cast t1 or swift cast b4 to maintain buffs.

Or you can do F4 > B3 > B4/T3 > opposite as the rest of us "retarded" people do. Hell of a lot better than skipped F4 for T3 > B3 > B4 > oh shit I'm forced to use filler, I just traded a F4 for B1!

Obviously if the TC last till umbral u do that. Didnt think id have to mention the most obvious shit. Im talking abut when it doesnt.

I see. Yes, after thinking about it I'm seeing a lot of advantages to repping the final F4 with a Thundercloud (shorter rotation, more damage, more mobile) iff you're not clipping heavily for some reason and you can't extend it to UI, probably the second to last F4 too.

Maths:

F4 > B3 > B4 > T1 = 504 + 280 + 270 with the potential to skip the T1 in which case it's 504 + 280
T3 > B3 > B4 > B1 = 780 + 280 + 180 with the potential to skip the B1 in which case it's 780 + 280

So, you'd gain 186 - 276 depending on if you had to use filler in this case. Still really not in favor of using Thundercloud in an area where it can clip though except as filler, for now my rule of thumb is ...

Use TC for multi-DoT > filler > final F4 > second to last F4.

snip.

His post stated it was worth it to use before the thunder buffs though, in which case it would have been a DPS loss.

I am so lost on rotations, and when people do thunders.

Like the potions, I am guessing potion of intelligence?

[Maero]

Yes potion of Intelligence ^
Also while more of a rotation thread, perhaps any care to share if they use food or not?
I have been trying various different ones especially for EX Primals and results have been ok thus far
