Black magic...kinda sucks

You just need to give it time and get to level 70, if it is still not for you just move on
Blm is one of the top dps for almost all content and having to know a fight and pre-plan is what makes the job more unique i think.
Other jobs you can just wing it but is then dull.

You do not yet have the experience with blm so please stop trying to tell everyone how bad the job is and try to re-inforce your point with innacurate information

The thing is once you get to 60+ you pretty much are playing the job, and BLM is very much the perfect example of this. Yes you get the teleport back to your ley lines, triple cast, and the ultimate damage spell slash reward for staying in good rotation with your fire/ice spells; but explain to me how much different the job gets at 70 vs my current 67 let alone from 60? Not to mention while I have not reached 70 in BLM I have played plenty of the jobs as is, and I have been playing mmos long enough to know a bad design when I see it. Read that 'bad design', not broken or unplayable...just bad. You can still play a bad game and enjoy it, even master it, but it doesn't change the fact that the BLM could be done better and in fact HAS been done better in other games.

What you call 'winging-it' is what other call 'playing the game'. If anything is really 'winging-it' it is a healer since no two runs will go the same with how you need to play the mechanics and respond to those who didn't; which the whole mentality of eating mechanics to increase DPS...if that isn't against design philosophy of the game in general, I don't know what is. When you have a job that has some of the lowest health that the community is telling you is being played correctly by playing russian roulette with mechanics...I feel very much I am not the one who needs to better understand game design.
