Back in Black - A Black Mage Guide

[IceSpear]

If you are using Sharpcast on Thunder, which is fine, you should not be using it that early. Unless you are talking about fighting two mobs then that's fine as well. But on a single target, if you use that rotation you described above, your initial thunder isn't even ticking once, meaning you're wasting a 2.5s cast time on 30 potency.

I would recommend doing this instead: Sharpcast > Thunder > Enochian > Fire III > Fire IV X 2 > Fire > Thundercloud. This way your initial Thunder is 150-190 potency.

And what should I do when I come to refresh Enochian with Blizzard IV since by the time I use the Thundercloud it would still be ticking should I use Blizzard or just use Thunder again?...
