Black Mage Revamp

[Krr]

You mean "spam thunder because that's the strongest nuke in the game on everything but token mobs that absorb thunder"? Or the FFXI "real" BLMs that were basically 5/5 Thunder or Ice potency and gave the middle finger to every other element?

I'm excited to play a real black mage, auto-attacking for the majority of encounters because I need to rest at an inn to refresh my spell slots and I want to make sure I still have Haste and Saber ready for the endboss of the dungeon.

I'm not quite as real a blackmage as you, but I do remember double casting flares all day, casting Aspir to replenish mana, then going back to double cast flares. Occasionally I'd cast an elemental spell if the enemy was really really weak to it.

I just hope that when we become real black mages in FFXIV that they make sure to add Pumice Pieces or something similar in the expansion. It'd suck if one of my ultimate spells, Doomsday, was unviable to use because it wiped my party when cast, so I at least need the option to tediously farm a chocobo minigame to make it viable.
