Greetings and well met!

I've been playing FFXIV for about a month, boosted a BLM to 70, and this link has helped me immensely.
Good luck & Have fun!

The sad part about this, is that you need something like this to play one class in the game. If I have to fill out an application and turn this into a career, there's a serious problem with the class, lol. I am actually leveling a BLM now, and it's the most cumbersome class there is in this game, worse than SMN all day long.

Huh? BLM is one of the simplest jobs in the game. You can succeed at it just knowing the basic ST and AoE rotations. Everything else in that guide is just optimization and mostly obvious on the fly. E.g. chaining more F4 possible during ley lines, etc.

I... what? Black Mage is like, the easiest job to understand in the game. Fire good, ice bad, big hot hurty spell is strong so you want to cast it a lot, small hot hurty spell lets you keep astral fire up so you can keep casting big hot hurty spell, then you run out of explosion points and then use cold-but-not-very-hurty spell to get your explosion points back... and then you just cast more big hot hurty spells.
