Black Mage PSA

I would love it if they removed the wrong-element damage penalty because using F3P in AF3 makes it a lot easier to build up to 6 astral hearts and I hate knowing that I'm technically missing out on a little damage as I do so, but, yes, testing shows that an AF1 F3P does indeed do around double the damage of a UI3 F3P (as you'd expect going from x0.7 to x1.4).

This is the one part of DT BLM I like. If you get all 6 F4s without needing to use F3P, you get to cash it in for some extra damage. It's a little reward for good planning.

Also yeah OP is tripping

This is a fair point, and it speaks to the main point of rotational flexibility and risk/reward skill expression I see in the DT BLM, which is whether you manage to use your oGCDs and instant casts to maximize damage or if you need to burn them for pure self-preservation/uptime.
