So I'm leveling BLM and enjoying it more now than I have in the past but at 50+ I'm kind of at a loss as to what I should be doing. Below there is very straightforward and I've read guides about how it plays at 70 but in the space between I don't want to be a burden.

If anyone is feeling generous can you give me some tips on how to integrate new skills as I get them so that I'm not just doing the fire->blizzard(thunder)->repeat when I should be doing something else? Flare seems cool but as I try to figure out how to integrate it I get confused with the MP and stuff.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
