You clearly fail to understand what I'm saying and judging by your signature, I can't exactly take your own opinions seriously either or your reading comprehension. I said, "I knew the kit in depth but I did not add Sharpcast to my rotation". This does not mean I didn't now what Sharpcast did or didn't do, I simply did not use it because I found it unnecessary at the time. But if you want to die on the hill of me not adding Sharpcast = bad player, so be it.

So, I knew what Sharpcast did in the past. Guaranteed procs and all that. But I didn't have to use it because I often got reliable Fire III procs most of the time. It wasn't a serious addition. I didn't play Black Mage in high end content when I was playing it because I wasn't playing high end content period and at that time, I wasn't learning hyper optimized rotations because, well... I wasn't doing high end content. Yet somehow, some way, I was doing incredibly reliable damage (most often topping the aggro meter), learning the fights well enough to know when to drop my Leylines and do my damage burst, etc.
