BLM

So question I just got blizzard 3 should I be using blizz 3 and fire 3 to move between UI and AF? Instead of transpose? Since both spells put me into UI 2 and AF 2 straight away.

gives you level 3 AF, UI right away. so you should use blizzard3 and fire3 for UI <-> AF switching purpose, yes.

Wow, can't believe I missed that. Still used transpose losing 1 full second of dps!

ok i'm confused here after reading over the first few pages.

Wanna just do a quick check:
For BLM is it THM lvl 30 + Archer lvl 15?? Or THEM lvl 30 + Arcanist lvl 15?

http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Black_Mage here from the wiki it says archer. But the first few pages on this thread says that it's arcanist. So which is it? Cos i've just hit 30 on my THM and i'm at a loss here.

Black Mage is: 30 THM 15 Archer

So, most of you still agree that this -> [ Blizzard 3 (Umbral 3) -> Thunder 3 -> Fire 3 (Astral 3) -> Fire 1 (until Firestarter procs) -> 500 mana -> Blizzard 3 (Umbral 3) -> Repeat. --> Thunder 3 on every Thundercloud proc] is the best rotation so far?

Just a little Question:

Where is the accuracy cap as BLM?
I have a bit acc on my gear, and i have 100% hit with all of my spells (if the app is right).
But i would like to know the exact amount of hit we need. Without it feels like wasting many statpoints :>

Sorry I'm alil late here. So transpose is useless?

Not useless, it becomes more of a utility skill. If you use too many fires and you're out of mana AND your convert is on cooldown (I think that's the name of the skill at work and drawing a blank, the one where you trade HP for MP), you transpose to get that 1 frost to get you mana faster to cast bliz3 to get back into your rotation.

At lower levels though (before you get blizzard 3 and fire 3) transpose is great for swapping between attacks when low on MP

It still has a few uses. Like after nails on Ifrit. If he starts the triple leap while you are in a fire burn phase, UF3 will run off. You can just transpose to be back at full mana when the leaps stop.
