So, most of you still agree that this -> [ Blizzard 3 (Umbral 3) -> Thunder 3 -> Fire 3 (Astral 3) -> Fire 1 (until Firestarter procs) -> 500 mana -> Blizzard 3 (Umbral 3) -> Repeat. --> Thunder 3 on every Thundercloud proc] is the best rotation so far?

Just a little Question:

Where is the accuracy cap as BLM?
I have a bit acc on my gear, and i have 100% hit with all of my spells (if the app is right).
But i would like to know the exact amount of hit we need. Without it feels like wasting many statpoints :>

Sorry I'm alil late here. So transpose is useless?

Not useless, it becomes more of a utility skill. If you use too many fires and you're out of mana AND your convert is on cooldown (I think that's the name of the skill at work and drawing a blank, the one where you trade HP for MP), you transpose to get that 1 frost to get you mana faster to cast bliz3 to get back into your rotation.

At lower levels though (before you get blizzard 3 and fire 3) transpose is great for swapping between attacks when low on MP

It still has a few uses. Like after nails on Ifrit. If he starts the triple leap while you are in a fire burn phase, UF3 will run off. You can just transpose to be back at full mana when the leaps stop.

The beginning is something I've heard differently from a lot of places.

Some go Thunder II > swiftcast Fire 3 > fire 1(until proc) > 500 mana bliz 3, and use T3 on procs.


The only thing overall that annoys me about blm is that Firestarter's proc triggers when F1 hits the target, not on cast, if they keep it on hit, let us use the proc outside GCD.

Gotcha thanks

There are only 3 things when you want to use your transpose skill.

1. When you dont have enough MP to cast Blizzard 3 and you are on Astral Fire Mode.
2. When you are kiting enemy and need to replenish your Mana.
3. After you defeat a mob and your on Astral fire.

Does anyone find much use for our limit break?
I find that since adds usually go down fast enough or just are worth the limit break, melee limit break always seems like a better option.

I haven't directly been able to compare damage though. Is meteor ever really worth using?
