    There are too many crap skills which you can just remove them from your hot bar. On my black mage I got rid of skills that I am 100% sure I am not going to use ever such as Thunder 2, Ice 1, Ice 2, Freeze, Surecast etc

    Basically for lvl 50 rotations is like this:

    Swift cast> fire 3 > fire 1 until low mp > ice 3 > thunder 1 > fire 3> repeat

    Every time you get a proc for fire 3 or thunder (use thunder 3) you use them. Some people like to use Flare in their rotation on single target but it's unnecessary from my experience. Of course this is all changed when you hit lvl 60.

    If I'm not missing anything, you still have Q, mouse buttons, and alt modifiers free. G and 6 is also easy to reach, at least for me. Alt can be dangerous, though, as quick chat is defaulted to alt+whatever. You should also avoid macros if at all possible. Macros can't be queued and are a DPS loss.

    There are times when Blizzard 1 is better DPS than Thunder 1. Flare is always DPS loss on single target unless you have both Swiftcast and Convert available; mana potions are not good enough after lvl 50.

    E: Transpose -> Convert. Derp.

    Yoshi-P is doing his best and is patching Endwalker. Please wait warmly until it is ready.

    Blizzard III > Thunder I > Fire III > Fire 1 x4/5/6(depending on peity) > Procs > Blizzard III > Thunder 1/Blizzard I(if used thundercould/Thunder 1 still up)

    Pretty sure if you open with Fire III you are robbing yourself of a fire 1. Full power Fire III will be from firestarter.
