After failing the BM solos during the Wongstaurant event with 1.1x AF/Black Heart. I decided to grind to 285 and farm as much meso as I could to tap(OCT 15th 30% off) the rest of my gear(Arcanes, Twilight Mark, and Magic EyePatch) to 22* except PBs which would stay at 21*. I was banking to get an emblem or SOS drop during Night Troupe so I could hit 4 set PB. This isn't really necessary since I only gained around 5-10B/s with 4 Set versus only using my 22* sweetwater monocle/pendant but I wanted to squeeze out as much damage as I could since I lost around 20% FD from the Kanna Domain Nerf and the Night Walker Nerf from the previous patch. I luckily got a SOS drop on OCT 21st and immediately transferred my 22* SUP Pendant to it which made me 4 set when I finally popped my last Black Heart on OCT 24th. I would be at my strongest on that day since the event buffs would be at Master Rank. I had 7 Days to relearn, learn, trial and error until OCT 31st reset when the buffs would leave. There was constant talks with Friends and Shapaz if I was able to clear and what I was potentially doing wrong to correct these mistakes. Also the topic about liberating was always brought up during these talks after all the failed runs as I would be able to clear easily if I would to liberate, I didn't have much time with only 2-3 days left until the events end. I was always putting liberating off with "give me one more day" and I'm glad I did, On OCT 30th/31st I finally cleared BM. Right after I went to Seren with my party and got an emblem drop which made me fake 5 set and I did a SELF BA and Culvert before the events end. This is shown at the end of the video, its the strongest I will ever be/have been with 900 legion; 289b/s on self and 319b/s on BM dummy, 18k+ Culvert.
Culvert is done using the Static method since that's how I learned it and I'm too lazy to learn how to do it the Shapaz way.
My BAs are done with Fatal Strike being sync'd up with my burst. Without Fatal being sync as that is not realistic in bosses without proper timing then I lose 15-20b/s.
I did roughly 45 Black Mage runs in a 7 day period ranging from 30-52 mins per run with many people helping me buff constantly, giving advice or supporting/timing/watching all my runs in discord, Shout out to all of them. They can be found in the last 30 seconds of the video.
