Black mage changes are probably my breaking point with this game

And that just proves the point being made

If you KNEW what sharpcast did and CHOSE to not use it then honestly your opinion on the design of a class is basically meaningless as you are intentionally playing a class wrong then claiming strong knowledge of it

What’s the value of the opinion of someone who is intentionally playing the class wrong? Should I go ask the SAM I just got in the levelling roulette spamming hakaze because “it’s animation is cool” how they should change SAM?

If anything an actual lack of knowledge of sharpcast’s uses would lend more credence to your opinions than this

Your posts have devolved to such a level of intellectual dishonesty that you're now building a strawman around what I said happened in the past to the point that you have now developed this false equivalency of your hakaze quote. I'll not engage with you anymore so you can spin doctor my responses any further.

I'm not sure what this means. Sharpcast was unnecessary in the same way that Fire IV is. You don't have to press it technically, but there is no reason to not press it as that's a damage loss. Sharpcast wasn't for F3 procs to help with the timer, that was a secondary function, which as it so happened also made the timer very, very forgiving, almost as forgiving as not having the timer, if used for that purpose.

It simply meant I did incorporate it into everything else I did. I managed my AF and UC phases as one does. I played around my Leylines. I simply did not use Sharpcast. Was it not as optimal? Probably. Did it have an effect on me being able to play my job? No, not at all.

This mini-arc of me not using Sharpcast has gone on long enough and has done absolutely nothing to talk about Black Mage and its changes as a whole. Whether future readers wish to gauge my ability as a casual Black Mage in the past as poor or not is of no consequence to me or my character. I know I played well in my sphere of the game and that's that on that.
