BLM 15min wrong?

>_> If you're just casting it to do damage then you're doing it wrong. Burst's damage is modified by having LESS HP. In other words it's for use a dire situations when everyone's HP is low and you need that last 5% off the boss to win.

Not hard to understand.

How is 0 mp cost for all spells worthless? yes you waste alot of it casting but in those omgwtf moments (which FFXI 2hrs were designed for) 2 well timed thundaga 3s were perfect, yes you may die but dying is a blm's job.

He wasn't saying Manafont was worthless... he was comparing FFXIV Burst as a "two hour" ability being as useful as Familiar from FFXI.

Have you even played BLM?

Burst hardly receives a substantial damage boost from having less HP. Rage of Halone did this once upon a time, it doesn't anymore. Think about why SE removed that. Burst will not save an FFXIV party in the situation you just described. The damage is not high enough currently for Burst to be an "oh shit gotta kill this now" ability. It barely outdamages what THM already brings to the table and those abilities don't have 15 minute timers.

What a silly question.
Have I played black mage. I'm not stupid enough to comment on a thread seriously without actually playing the job.
The rest of your words are lost on me from asking such a dumb question.

So basically, no?

If you did, you'd have a clue as to what you're talking about.

Very wrong ><

I thought it was a finisher to be used when the Boss/Mob is in red HP it does more damage. But if this is not true then Manafont yes please!
