Anyone able to get BLM to a competative level?

[Seripha_Starbane]

I have double, triple checked, an uncountable amount of times, on pets and players full resist at 3.

thanks spyrit.

Stun works 3 time, full resist at 4th

How is it for slows? And are stun / sleep on same diminishing returns?

[Spyrit]

Stuns I can't answer, slows lethargy is on a cd so can't test that, heavy appears (needs more testing) to resist at 3 too ( I could be wrong). Another thing you should be aware of if you dps the pets, it will register as doing 0 damage on the scoreboard. People don't realise that and acuse you of doing no damage.

Sleep duration is 30 ; 15 ; 7 Immune. Stun is immune on 3rd. Snare is immune on 4th application. Heavy is immune on 4th application. With a coordinated team it is best to sleep until their healer Purifies then start the timer on the survival game.

BLM is possible at a competitive level. I think BLM is at it's strongest in 4s. Still works well in 3s you have one good DPS or MRD and healer

I disagree i think strongest is healer ... healers are way more effective than anybody else if there would be chance i would run with 4 healers. or if you mean strongest dps then i agree

<--- rank 30 blm.
for one, you do get 3 sleeps on a target before they resist. assuming no sleep materia it goes 30>15>7 not counting Night Wing. Blm can be played competitively and in the current state Blm performs better in premade 4s than summoner and bard. As far as solo queueing blm you will have a hard time getting pugs to notice sleeps. Its a very frustrating job to play if you have no synergy with your team but as long as you are atleast keeping tank and melee cc'd it relieves enough pressure to get some burst in.

Umm.. Pretty sure he means that BLM perform at THEIR best in 4's (better suited for 3's/4's rather than duo or solo queue). Which I agree with. Ran mostly BRD/PAL/BLM with Hudeski ^ till rank 30 for 3's. We won the majority of our matches, awesome setup and was fun (prly not fun for hudeski tho =P)

It is never fun for the BLM its so stressful. Luckily for us that stress load can be let off when we manage to perform a Double Flare Firestarter.

BLM is a top tier class in the current meta - after all, what MMO has mages as a bad class?

I lvled all the way from 1 to 30 in full PvE gear, having 0 morale, did not use any i55/i70 gear - and i ended up with a 94%+ win rate which is pretty good imo
Now that mage is one of the two classes with reliable slow (i call heavy slow) it's better than ever; we have good survivability+kite and ok dmg

Overall i think of mage as a utility > damage class, especially since literally every team tries to kill you

You are the play maker in your team who controls the field - it's up to you to force trinkets / make calls / call out switches etc
