Magil Zeal posted:It kinda looks like Enochain will be easy to keep up all the time, so is BLM really in a bad spot? Fire IV is pretty beefy. True, but they added incentive to stay even stiller than before but nerfed the things that allowed you to do it in the first place. idk, it's not looking as appealing as it was before now, at least for me...

Verranicus posted:Soo, BLM got nerfed? How exactly? Not really, their survivability took a hit and Flare's AoE got nerfed, but they also got buffs to their main attack spells. It's just that SMN was hugely buffed and BLM didn't seem to change much, though we still need to see how they work at 60 to make any kind of conclusions.

You don't have time for T2 in the new rotation. It's either T1 or B4 because Enochian is about to fall off.

Ciaphas posted:I'm torn on what to level next now that DRG is finished. I kinda wanna level another ranged DPS, since SMN is my only one currently and I'm generally kind of 'ehn' on it right now, so I've got it down to either BLM or MCH. Probably BLM; that's what I would have originally taken to 60 instead of SMN but complaints about Enochian scared me off at the time. Not difficult at all, the new rotation just keeps you on your toes a bit more.

Ciaphas posted:Coming back to this again a sec, in the single target opener I always seem to just miss refreshing AF3 with the F1, it gets reset to AF1 even under Ley Lines. Am I doing something wrong? Yeah, only do 2x F4. The other one is only really possible in The Goblet on the dummy with like 50ms lol. I generally do F4x2 -> F1 -> F4x2 and then if I got a F3 proc I'll do F4 -> Convert -> F3 -> Swiftcast!F4 -> B3 and so on. If I didn't get a proc I'll do F1 again -> Convert -> F4 (F3 if proc) -> B3.

loquacius posted:I actually didn't know that, I've been switching back and forth between ice and fire using Transpose this whole time Yeah, use Fire 3 to switch back to Astral, as it'll be practice for when you get the rest of your tools. At 44 you'll get the Firestarter trait which gives your Fire 1 casts a 40% chance of making Fire 3 free and instant. That's the only other time you should use Fire 3. Also, pro-tip for then: if you are in Umbral phase and have a Firestarter proc leftover from the Astral phase, Transpose before using it so it'll do more damage. Never AoE in Umbral phase, refresh Thunder instead.

I still don't have Blizzard 3 (or the ability to stack 3 astral fire / umbral ices), but I'll definitely just use Fire 3 to get back in burn mode from now on. Thanks, guys.

Thundarr posted:I've been using Enochian at 58 to get used to the change that'll hit at 60. I hadn't realized before that the Bliz4 refresh gives diminishing returns on your Enochian duration instead of just setting it back to 30s. I'm going to have to spend a lot of dummy time when I hit 60 to get used to this aren't I. Not at all. BLM at 60, outside the opener, follows a really strict F4x2->F1->F4x2(F3)->B3->(T1)B4->F3 rotation, using procs when you wont lose enochian because of them. Practicing in Ex roulette will be better for getting a feel on timings than practicing on a dummy. Also, BLM at 60 is as mobile as it is at 50, meaning that you use procs and Swiftcast to move. Pro-tip: You can move inside the Ley Lines glyph, and don't be afraid to step out of it if you need to, it'll still be there after the AoE is gone unless it leaves a puddle.

DarkHamsterlord posted:Yes, the ewer does nothing to someone in Darkside. I want to say it also does nothing to a blm in astral fire but I'm not sure You do get MP back during Astral Fire from Ewer. Your rotation is so tight that it doesnt really help much, though. Also that graphic with the cards is outdated.

EponymousMrYar posted:The first answer is 'your tank is dumb for thinking your group can AoE that many mobs with that group comp' the second is that a single target rotation that uses every GCD is better than an AoE rotation that uses every 2nd GCD.

They are always worth it, same with damage over time effects; those tend to be the game's strongest abilities. The only exception is Fracture, really. Some people swear by it on Monk, though... You don't get much more in the way of attacks via crossclass, get Mercy Strike, it's generally a DPS boost. After getting i200 gear, you should run VA to get an item that let's you upgrade your weapon to i210, and then start doing either the relic chain, start farming Midas for your Lore weapon or do Sephirot EX.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Also if you're checking for a threat lead wait until a few rounds of combos come out, because things like DRG really bloom on the end of their combos and will rip threat from you if you're not paying attention. And check your dps; do an initial pull to gauge how good they really are and learn which classes are awful at aoe (drg, nin) so you can gauge how good your group's aoe is. If it's not great then just single pull so you can dps stance more and the healer can be dishonest as gently caress. Let's please dispel this myth that melee classes have bad AoE, thanks. You just had bad melee dpses. Also, nothing worse than having to babysit a tank as a healer because they don't use a single loving cooldown but they pulled everything there was to pull. Nothing worse than "honest tanks" that only use cds on bosses.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:lol yeah ninja has great aoe dps, tell us more (I play ninja) Klades posted:Everyone's AoE DPS is higher than their single target DPS if you have enough targets (except PLD) but let's not pretend that the melee jobs are as good at AoE as the casters. They can be up there, I've regularly done more damage in AoE situations than casters as DRG or NIN. You just have to remember to use your cooldowns along with your AoE abilities to make them worth it. Most melee dps don't use cds on trash packs which baffles me because Internal Release and Blood for Blood both have like a 60 sec cd, they're up for every pull. Also pubbie DRGs don't use Doom Spike at all, for some reason.

Personally, I got straight to the F3 after the Transpose. I always get enough MP back to cast 2x F2 and Flare, and enough time for Transpose to be off coldown after the Flare. Dunno why people are casting B3 there in the middle, you're just delaying your rotation...
