Black magic...kinda sucks

[Zerathor]

BLM is a turret. Like it or not, that's the job. You have one of the easiest rotations because the challenge of this job is about adapting it to the fight. It's a unique playstyle to this game, and it's completely perfect the way it is.

Blm has a steeper learning curve in being actually good with compared to other jobs in fights. But it's still not that bad.

Most jobs are about focusing 100% on what is happening NOW. "Do I have this proc?" "I need to get this off before this buff falls" ect ect. BLM is more focused on what's going on in 10 seconds than the present. Do I need to slide cast to a new position soon? Can I utilize enough of my leylines if I drop them here and now? Do I use triple for dps or do I need to be running soon? Can I set up a proc to use ogcds without clipping my gcd? Can I hold this proc long enough to use aether manipulation to dodge without wasting a gcd?

Blm is about planning.
