BLM vs Bard

[LeviathanElite]

I'm sure you think you said something there. But you really didn't. Unless you really did just admit that all this is - is just you not being good enough to out dps bards. It's not about "fair," it's just you and your feelings of inadequacies.

I know plenty of great BLMS can keep up and pass up bards during boss fights. So this truly is just about you.

I actually know the rotation really well. I can explain it to you in full detail if you want? How about flare juggling? yea none of that matters when compared to the bards dps/dots on the move


The basic outline for the rotation is thunder 2 - fire 3 - spam fire 1 until you get firestarter or thundercloud procs (use fire 3 and thunder 3 respectively)
- at around 400-800 mp use blizzard 3- keep using this rotation. At the end you can add flare instead of blizzard 3 and then use convert to add more damage.

This standard rotation is so far away from the bard dps at equal gearing that its laughable. most end game bosses you have to move a lot... and you cant hold your procs for too long
without them expiring due to boss fight patterns.


The reason you start with thunder 2 is because the thunder 3 cast time (once again the cast times) is not worth the dot damage or duration when you can get thundercloud later.
