3.0 Vivi aims for 4.0 Shantto...

Heya,

since SB brought many changes to caster (like for every other cls as well) I focused Smn for Raid & Eureka leaving Blm untouched at all. Now, after all the "caster-war" discussions, adjustments and patches im wondering whats still up2date if someone wanna dig into Blm again...

there are those two guides (Laqi & Rai) I got from Balance but like I said I haven't touched Blm since HW... so which one is good for starters? Or are there any other ones which should do even better? : o

sincerly yours
Yuni ^__^ /

Not a guide per say but may give some ideas

Myself for a good portion of Sb i took a break from blm and was raiding as RM or Nin

Edit: it appears both guides plus the rotation i linked are pretty much similar
I prefer the guide and layout of Rai, the other guide is equally good i just usually take most things from reddit with a grain of salt.
Just like people always want to reference fflogs, lol

Best of luck to you

Both the guides are fine.

After learning the basics, the most influential increase in your capability as a Black Mage is abusing mechanics to get as much uptime as possible.

i see thx for your replies :3

yeah haven't expected that they changed the core of blms movement/uptime cls-design challenge at all.

With recent buffs BLM is very fun now!

I think one of the most important duty-specific thing is leyline placement e.g. placing leylines to where you will stand the most for the upcoming 30s, or delaying leylines if you're going to move soon.
You should aim to have at least 25s+ on every leyline casts!
