Best 60 BLM Rotation

Best BLM 60 rotation?
Hi guys,

I cracked 60 BLM just a short while ago and have been reading the forums on what the best rotation and so far its like 50 different ways to cook a chicken. I have been getting criticism in game from some of the elitists and their 'pearls of wisdom' (some polite, some damn rude) about my rotation. I am at lvl 165 and want to have this down before I go into Alexander.

If anyone could provide suggested rotations that are effective that would be great. I think also a lot of people don't bother to ask if you are on PC or PS4 which makes a big difference in gameplay.

Also, Im trying to figure some of the acronyms used in suggested rotations. If anyone could also be so kind to elaborate on the following for me please?

1. Proc? (Im guessing procedure but if so what procedure?)
2. QS?
3. Spam?
4. Raging?
5. Quelling?
6. Pot?

Thanks guys, any answer or advice is much appreciate as usual!

Have you checked out the BLM Guide in the DPS thread?

Hi, no I have not. Do you by any chance have a link as I can't seem to find it? Thanks!

Hi National Velvet :)

For rotations and lots of good info about BLM, check out the first post HERE

As far as those acronyms:

1. Proc - This is usually referring to either a Thunder Cloud or Firestarter (I think that is what the fire one is called?). It's the free cast (aka proc) you will sometimes get when you cast Thunder or Fire 1
2. QS - Quelling Strikes. This is a cross class skill from BRD/ARC
3. Spam - Usually means to spam (use multiple times) a skill
4. Raging - Raging Strikes. Also cross class skill from BRD/ARC
5. Quelling - Quelling Strikes again
6. Pot - Potion. Such as the Dravanian Potion Of Intelligence

If you haven't got your BRD to level 34, that should be your next goal so you can get Raging Strikes (increased damage for a short time)

As you are just new to 60, your main goal for now should be the upkeep of Enochian so you can use your main damage dealing skill, Fire 4. This will seem hard at first, but get's easier the more you practice.

Hope this helps you :)

EDIT:
I would also recomend cross classing:

Eye for an Eye - Arcanist Level 34
Virus - Arcanist Level 12
and for shits and giggles, Physick - Arcanist Level 4 (you'll never ever use this in group content though)

Here it is. This is probably the best current BLM Guide for 3.0 onward.
