    Objectively, any job is easy if you spent a huge amount of hours on it. Black Mage is extremely mobile now and strats are created to minimize caster movements and melee downtime.

    BLM becomes a lot more enjoyable and easy if you go for the spell speed BiS. Fire IV turns into a 2.47s cast from a 2.8s which is pretty huge. You can use your sharcast procs to move, your ice paradox and xenoglossy to move around so you can keep Triple Cast for DPS purposes mainly.

    The moment you've figured out the dance and your movement, you can just save all the mobility on demand to purely use it for DPS. You can save your triple casts, Xenoglossies during the 2 minute burst window. It feels really good.

    I will say that MNK is the "hardest" because it requires cursed knowledge which is inaccessible for none PC players if you don't have the ping to double weaves on MNK. BLM? It's about just knowing when to move and when you can use your stuff for damage. Both have fairly low actions per minutes compared to Gunbreaker or Machinist.

    I run sps blm goes from average to extremely hard when you use paradox to switch between fire and ice for the 3% increase.
