Need Help With Advanced Job :(

[REDace0]

...
I will give you the sad news that you will need to gain a fair few levels in Archer to realize either of the those jobs to their full potential (mostly due to Quelling Strike and Chameleon which respectively reduce your attack's enmity for one move and reduces your current enmity), but both jobs also have their own enmity dumps (Freeze, a damage+negative enmity spell and Evasive Jump, that moves you backwards and reduces enmity).

I've been playing BLM at 50 since shortly after job release.

I still don't have Chameleon.

Somehow people still haven't noticed.

OP, do you browse the FFXIV reddit by any chance?

Oh. I definitely do not have Archer at a level any higher than to get Quelling Strike, and even then 90% of the time i'm not using it since i'm overflowing with TP on my Dragoon. Hell even Elusive Jump I use rarely, but that'd because i'm not as much of a killing machine as i'd like to be

Not to say they are fully nescessary, I guess? It fully depends on the sum of the capacities of the party and how much of a boss you are at dealing damage. (also back when Lancer's abilities had -accuracy Hawk's Eye was pretty useful)
