No need to bind or grav if your sleep was gonna land everytime. You can bind and grav stuff in this game as well ppl only know how to play one way. Also the onlything you needed to check in XI for ele weakness was to see if it resisted thunder or ice cause even if a mob was weak to lets say earth both of those spells did more dmg.

So you pretty much decided to not play Black-mage properly then? Casting elemental spells on the proper monsters especially when taking weather and the elemental day into consideration could get you much more damage than just blindly casting Ice/thunder.

Gravity/Bind were your standby skills while waiting for sleep cooldowns and to avoid terrible moments if/when your sleep was resisted after you woke the mob up.

Of course I only speak of XI pre 99 playing blm properly at 75 took some time and knowledge to do properly. There was alot to take into consideration to make your glass cannon worth that party slot, or to get mad exp solo.
