Black magic...kinda sucks

[PerrinTaveren]

As a SMN and BLM main both, i like BLM more, like A LOT MORE. I accept i had a though job leveling it, especially on Shisui dungeon because of that horrible 2nd boss, but still that boss is a nightmare for all dps. (Unless physical ranged i guess).

Lv70 BLM is just awesomeness. With triple cast alone, you have so much mobility.

Is it more challenging than playing SMN? No tbh.

SMN has a lot of min-maxing and a lot of thinking how to do your AF and pet and stuff. I played NIN for a while, you have to see how many buttons you press while dpsing at that one. Mudras alone in every 20 sec, maintaining your huton buff, maintaining your dot, applying trick attack at the right time and making sure you line up your skills etc. Then mch. It requires a page to explain that job tbh. Then we have monk. Positionals, greased lightning stacks and also dots, buffs etc. And with all of these jobs, you say BLM doesn't fit to the game.

I think BLM has the EASIEST rotation ever in the game. It is almost as easy as a healer dps. (not saying that to be bad, being easy doesn't mean being bad). You don't have positionals, you don't have pet management, you don't have button bloat. You simply need to stand still and spam fire4s. But again, all the jobs above needs to know the fights as well, they are not THAT different from BLM. Yes, you need to know where to stand but that becomes obvious after a while tbh.

I was with a SAM the other day at Hell's Lid, he had full 370ilvl gear, i have Eureka gear and menda accessories, i was dealing more damage than him at some points and bosses. I am not a raider also, this player was a raider. So BLM is in a good place right now. I didn't talk about RDM much, but RDM itself is really dull to play imo, i really didn't get the exciment for that, it is too easy and idk, nvm. But SMN isn't ''easier'' to play. I really doubt you remember at the beginning of SB. It was like a science project to understand that job back then. They ''fixed'' so many things to let players play it basically. And still, it has lots of tweaks if you wanna be good.

Don't trash BLM, it seems like this thread is for trashing it. If you don't like it, just move on. I have lots of jobs i don't like but you don't see me trash talking about those everywhere. BLM is good, BLM is love. And yes, it is top dps right now, which hardly matters for me. I like it so i will play it.
