BLM 6.x speculation

[DarkZeroUnit]

is everyone happy with the 15 sec timer?

when i start my rot with b3 then E then b4 then F3 then F4 i run out of time before i run out of mana and thats not fun would 10 extra 10sec be broken?

also should the timer pause for cutscenes and transitions?

You cast Fire 1 to reset your timer.

And no. Know when to dump your stored resources. Black Mage is one of the few jobs that can go from 0 to 100 in just a GCD.

I'm happy with it. It leads to some really tight shennanigans during raid and I'm honestly all for it.
More time on the timer isn't needed 100%.

I suggest learning the no B4 opener since it's pretty simple to learn. IIRC:

Sharpcast (12 seconds countdown) + B3(Enochian) + Thunder 3 + Fire 3(Triple cast) + Fire 4 (Pot) + Fire 4 (LeyLines) + Fire 4(3x) + Despair + Thunder 3 proc(Manafont) + Fire 4 + Despair

BLM has a lot of weird shennanigans you can do, like:

Skipping Blizzard 4 and Fire 1 if you're under Leylines and you have enough spell speed
If you have a Fire 3 proc and a Thunder 3 proc and enough time on these two procs you, Fire 3 proc(Tranpose) + Thunder 3 proc + Xenoglossy + Fire 3, this should give you mana by the time Fire 3 is done.
Skipping Blizzard 4 if you DoT timer is going down and you get fast mana tick.

I recommend checking out the Balance discord server. They have a lot of good resources in there.
