Current BLM AoE rotation?

Where does the number come from?

Which number? 10k? The OP said that's how much they were doing in the run they got kicked from.

Thanks for all of the replies. Theyve been very helpful. My gear is not overmelded. For some context I started playing ffxiv 3 weeks ago. I hit 80 about a week ago. I have the AoE rotation down now so I can pull around 12-13k on larger trash pulls.

Yes sorry, I meant to say dead weight.

Also I never said the OP was a dead weight, my response was to another player.

My point remains the same, though, there's no reason to carry someone who's not contributing to the party's success, whether it is normal or savage. If you allow people like this to succeed the cycle will continue.

I've been playing FFXIV for about a month, boosted a BLM to 70, and this link has helped me immensely.
Good luck & Have fun!

The sad part about this, is that you need something like this to play one class in the game. If I have to fill out an application and turn this into a career, there's a serious problem with the class, lol. I am actually leveling a BLM now, and it's the most cumbersome class there is in this game, worse than SMN all day long.

Huh? BLM is one of the simplest jobs in the game. You can succeed at it just knowing the basic ST and AoE rotations. Everything else in that guide is just optimization and mostly obvious on the fly. E.g. chaining more F4 possible during ley lines, etc.

I... what? Black Mage is like, the easiest job to understand in the game. Fire good, ice bad, big hot hurty spell is strong so you want to cast it a lot, small hot hurty spell lets you keep astral fire up so you can keep casting big hot hurty spell, then you run out of explosion points and then use cold-but-not-very-hurty spell to get your explosion points back... and then you just cast more big hot hurty spells.

You don't know what's going on with that person. It could be a troll or it could be someone who's just not very good at the game but wants to see the content.

It's that mindset that poisons a MMO community. It's NORMAL content. It's not meant to be serious like Savage.

TC, it might be a bit late, but if someone told you what your DPS was and kicked you for underperforming according to his standard, you have the right to report that person.

Parsing is a grey area. Technically it is against the TOS, but SE won’t do anything against people using a parser. Unless, that is, they use that parser to discriminate against someone. Vote Kicking someone for ‘low DPS’ is just that sort of discrimination.

What? It's one of the easiest jobs to play.
