I am trying to level everything to 80 for the amaro mount at the moment. Blackmage to me is like cutting my teeth on dry glass. Sorry Yoshi-P! I think the worse of it is the enochain management, being on a timer all the time gives me anxiety. I know its not difficult to maintain as there are many tools now for it specifically but I just don't find countdowns fun, it is nerve wracking. I also hate that because the game decided to go with the split element concept rather than the wheel that the job is only limited to three spells, forever and more. I would have found it more fun if I could cast a bit of everything and not just various degrees of fire.

For me what kills the fun in a job is:
1) Positionals
2) Maintaining a buff
3) Stances (although they got rid of a lot of these hurray!)
4) Too many buttons, abilities just for the sake of having abilities
5) Spamming the same elemental spell or attack

So black mage and monk tick most of these boxes and not surprisingly are my least enjoyed.
