Soooooo....I just finished an Ifrit fight as Nuking conjurer. I was actually able to keep my MP up very well as conj, thanks to Blissful Mind and Shroud of Saints. Oh yeah, and Cleric Stance FTW!! In terms of nukes, I alternated Aero and Stone, and when I felt like I had the MP to spare I would throw in a Stone>Stonera combo. From a quick look at a parse, I had apparently topped in damage, but I'm gonna hold off on making any conclusions about how good of a DD this is until I test it some more.

The reason this brings me joy is that I've actually found a sustainable way to nuke and still put out competitive damage. Of course this is only for the Ifrit fight, so the large amounts of movement in the moogle fight may mess too much with MP regen. But hot dang, after testing all the possible combinations I could come up with, I think I've finally found a viable nuking style for this patch

Note: I'm using Ifrit's Cane with a few double-melded pieces for Int and Magic Potency (Hat, Legs, Boots), a Mythril Choker, and two +7 Int rings. I've also allotted my points as +23 Mind and +22 Int.
