I was in a Holminster's Switch with a BLM spamming Fire 2, not casting foul, using Blizzard 4 on trash, not using freeze or flare whatsoever. I simply can't process how you get 70+ levels in the game and not understand what the difference is by just reading the tooltips on your abilities and what they do.

To be fair to the new person... I've been playing since day 1 and I don't really understand how to use freeze or flare either. BLM in my opinion is a very poorly designed job when comparing it to a traditional Final Fantasy Black Mage. So if or when I do get around to leveling it up I tend to just use the most basic attacks as well.

nothing can fix stupid, I hate to say it :/

Their rotation is the most simple its ever been. They just turned Freeze into a targetable aoe that generates umbral heart. You Literally just go Freeze>Flare+Thunder 4 for trash followed by foul. It's also in the best and most fluid state it's ever been in.
