Calling Black Mages

[Nabril]

How is your end game Black Mage experience? I used to have a lvl 60 BLM years ago and lost the account long after I'd quit playing because the e-mail account to which it was tied no longer exists. (E-mail bombs would hit me daily so I got rid of it)

I'm level 63 on a brand new account (once again playing the masters of destruction) and I'm now remembering the frustrations I had with the job so long ago. Mistakes are very costly which I can accept- don't screw up and you're good. In other words, get better- try harder.

The real frustration lies in perceived mistakes. If I have to move, I lose my rotation. If I get interrupted at the wrong time, I lose my rotation. And the higher the level of the dungeon, the more mechanics, and us Black Mages seem to be priority number one for AoE attacks! I did a dungeon Trial a couple of days ago where the boss intersected blue lines over and over during the whole phase and over half of them were intersected right underneath my feet. Several of the others merely had me standing on one of the blue lines as they extended from another player and only 3 casts had me where I didn't have to move at all. I spent the whole phase trying to launch into my rotation. Meaning I did little if any damage at all.

With Enochian and Fire and Blizzard IV, mistakes are very expensive. I don't yet have triple cast so every second counts in order for me to maximize my use of Fire IV and not lose Enochian.

I must admit that I'm getting pretty frustrated and considering a class change. Any encouraging words?
