Why everyone plays Black mage

[Gaist]

I have come with the answer to a posters' question about why people play BLM.

I hope this clears up any confusion!

This is somewhat false. When a BLM goes to a low level fate, they usually can't finish a cast before the mob is dead. I can't tell you how many stupid fates I didn't gedal in or got bronze because my level was capped below Scathe or Bliz II.

Be honest: we all play black mage so we can bring that giant meteor down on everyone.

Summoner can as well, but sadly there's very few fights where a caster LB is preferred over melee. ;_;

This is necessary because the melee LB is the only reason to bring them to many fights (where they are a liability because of the way the fight is designed)

^ This, so bad D: I went and dropped 900 myth I was saving for my book (if I ever get done with atma, still only 6/12 -.-) on +1ing another relic, just because all these low lvl fates, everyone is running up, 1 shotting things. Not to mention it's semi-unfair that every other mage gets blizzard II well before the real level of it when set as cross skill

This is why I farm Atma on BRD and not my main WHM. Got sick and tired of mobs dieing before I could get off a Stone I without Swiftcast.

Even if it's a single target and you have a melee in your group!

I do like to play blackmage for trash content like dungeons/primals, but when it comes to serious play I can't stand the lack of utility. Main healer anyways.
