DPS frustration

[AiharaMizuki]

to be fair I might do more than 3k dps with the level 50 black mage rotation considering the level 50 rotation is just so much easier to do correctly.

No. Just, no. You're not going to get more than 3k dps. You know what you'll get? Kicked from the Ex trial party.

I mentioned that I could because you had to be doing something wrong. You shouldn't be doing the 50 rotation unless you messed Enochian up so badly that you have no choice. If you can do Fire IV's, you should be doing Fire IV's.

Being a decent DPS isn't hard. You just have to actually apply yourself like tanks and healers apply themselves to juggle survival and pushing their own damage.

Difficulty is relative to the player. Some people find tanking and/or healing easy, while others don't. Same goes for dps classes. That's really what it boils down to.

To be honest, at this point I'm just gonna assume OP is trolling.

Hi

Is it your rotation? I’m a level 68 BLM currently and use this:

Single monster: blizzard 3 > enochian > thunder 3 > blizzard 4 > fire 3 > fire 4 * 3 > fire 1 > fire 4 * 3 then repeat.

Multiple monsters: blizzard 3 > enochian > thunder 4 > fire 3 > fire 4 * 2 > flare > transpose > thunder 4 * 2 then repeat. I guess I can add foul when I unlock it

Not sure what my dps is, but dungeon runs seem to go ok.

Basically, yes. Generally the BLM rotation goes like that, the difference is just where people weave in the OGCDs.
I personally use Triplecast -> Bliz 3 -> Enochian -> Thunder 3 -> Bliz 4 -> Ley Lines -> Fire 3 -> Sharpcast -> Fire 4 x 3 -> fire 1 -> Convert

What this thread is teaching me is that anyone who isn't max geared i340 doing 100th percentile damage should be kicked from Susano/Laksmi.

Is this message you guys really want to be sending? There's a very fine line between expecting decent play and expecting literal perfection and I feel like it's crossed way too much.

It's best not to internalize anything from the forums too deeply imo. Nearly all the threads are made and replied to by the same couple hundred people, so it's not an accurate picture of the community as a whole. In-game most people are pretty chill.

To the OP though, try to separate the criticism from the way it's given. Sometimes good advice is given harshly and if you ignore it to spite the person giving it to you, you won't get anywhere. If you're serious about being a better BLM, watch a video on the Stormblood BLM rotation and practice the rotation in the video until it's muscle memory, then run dungeons to practice accounting for movement mid-rotation.

You know, on forum everyone have o4s on farm but when reality check hits, it comes out only about 5% (or less) really done it. That's the Internet.

I've still o2s in learning, trying down it with pugs so you know how hard is it. But the primals ex, you really can do them with i300 average, they are not hard dps checks but more mechanics handling, you fail them only because you get people dying on every little thing, quite often.
