Hard time choosing my DPSer.

What is the macro? I'd like to use it. Thank you.

/ac "Fire" <t>
/wait 3 (x3/4/5/or whatever amount of MP you can use to cast)
/ac "Transpose" <me>
/wait 3
/ac "Blizzard"<t>
/wait 3 (x3/4/5/until you gain full mana)
/ac "transpose" <me>
/repeat....

Since your macro only allows 15 lines to write, split fire and blizzard into two macros, thus - two buttons.

Any notion of macros go out the window once you get Firestarter + Thundercloud.
At most, you can macro the UI phase and hope you never get a thundercloud during the transition.

It's a boring class to level, but it's also pretty strong all the way through.
Fire III and Blizzard III allow you to control your phases which makes the rotation a little bit more interesting.
The procs make it a lot more interesting, but they're quite late.
In general, the skill set is small but it does require proper timing and preparation to avoid interruption.

At end-game, BLMs have some tricks up their sleeve to do more damage. They're a little less straight forward than, say, monks which managing multiple things is a constant but there's that much situational tricks to increase output.

Assuming you are in a fight where you don't have to move at all, maybe.. if you want to forego procs.

you do know that your fire 1 cast time is 2.4ish (depend on speel speed) second right? using wait 3, you will cause .6 second wait time for each Fire spell.
Last time I check , /wait in this game function with .5 sec incremental.
you can use /wait 2.1 but the game will fire your macro at 2.5 second. if you do /wait 2.6 the game will fire it at 3.0 second. (not sure if that fix this yet). you lose a lot of DPS when you do it from macro.

also i find BLM very fun to play. Their rotation is easy, but you have to be more tactical on where you stand to minimize your movement.

Please don't speak for everyone. I personally like DoTs. So, your statement is false.

Really now, as if you know what I do with my ACCOUNT.

Also, why are you taking offence to that statement? It was a compliment. You playing a summonor proves you are a rare breed, what's wrong with that?

P.S. And when you say "personally", it really doesn't mixed well with "please don't speak for everyone". Just saying... it contradicts things.

Check again, it is count to the nearest whole number. Yoshida P stated specifically that it WAS possible in beta but he/SE limited system's capability to avoid abuse or too much "auto-play".

Guys, what I said was in layman's term - For a newbie, who is new to the game, just starting, learning. Don't throw in rocket science numbers and shakespeare in a way that he/she wouldn't understand. Just generalise things, please.

You are certainly amusing.

Just to clarify. Personally means that is what I think. Hence, I'm speaking for me and not everyone.

Your statement said "does not appeal to anyone." I point out that it does in fact appeal to me. So that makes your statement false. Why? Because when you say anyone, I am included in that blanket statement.

They certainly do mix.

Your statement said "does not appeal to anyone." I point out that it does in fact appeal to me. So that makes your statement false. Why? Because when you say anyone, I am included in that blanket statement.

When people say "anyone" or "everyone", it does not encompass the entire world and exclusive to one condition. It's like people say "The whole world is full of kind hearted people" it does not mean the world really is FULL of kind hearted people. There are Hitler, Osama, the Russian hostage kid etc. It is simply a statement stating by default people are kind hearted in nature.

Now back to my statement saying "(it) does not appeal to anyone", it does NOT include every single human beings in this entire universe (I mean, really? Is that what you think I am saying? Then Try differentiate the words - Rich, Richer, and Richest). It is simply a statement stating the opinion of the majority, and the majority is that summoner is the least played class, and for a reason.

Macro is only effective for off global cooldown abilities or /p warnings etc. The macro I stated was in referal to the previous guy asking me on how to 2 button a blm class, which was in reference to my original statement that blm is capable of playing with 2 buttons only.

(And to all of you people who is going to try to nippick my words, trying looking up the dictionary on the meaning between the word "Capable" and "Efficiency" before you saying "Oh, but you can't! That would bring out blm max dps level". What I am saying is "As a blm you can just stand still at a corner and macro away while eating your sandwich on the other hand" - 2 entirely different meaning...!)

Damage over time appeals to a lot of people.

Stop posting stupidity.

The Summoner is the least-played job. Trying to fabricate a link to DoT damage is idiotic.

It took me 6 weeks to find a Summoner for Coil. Wish more players knew it is an awesome job.
