I'm not good at figuring out these kinds of things, if it matters, my gear is "old" and not updated from Adoulin, 5/5 af3+2, Vourukasha 1, Hecates Earring, etc. Thanks for any info.

Teaching a man to fish: I would recommend checking out the Dmg Calculator - Magic here, it can answer all of your gearing and dmg questions: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0A...MwMDI1N2VkYWZk
If that link doesn't work just google damage calculators ffxi and it is the top response.
Giving a man a fish: Ignoring the MB part because I haven't worried about that in years, looking at the spreadsheet with my gear + 99 Magian Blizzard5 does 3643 while AMII would only do 3171.
edited: dl'd new spreadsheet
Is that using new magic dmg values? Shouldn't be that big a difference between the 2 unless like 70ish dint I think (well more if using magic dmg stat). At 50 dint no mab (but that will effect them both the same) 900 to 1100. Assuming atinian staff as your only +magic dmg would put them at 1095 and 1295 respectively (still ignoring mab for simplicity). 1 step Magic burst without any MBB gear would bring that up to 1779 to 1902. Multiply by however much mab you got. Oh yeah saw you mentioned magian... the difference is about the same for that. And the dmg is only a little bit more.
So yeah blizz V should win in all except super low dint situations... but remember am2 has low fixed enmity
Nice catch, downloaded the new sheet and updated my post, I had downloaded one after the update, but was not updated. Also had custom Int: 50 for some reason....should have been 12 for merits.
