- Your damage is abysmal for such a long cast since you are stationary. Your combo is very inconsistent; The 1-2-3 combo, fire, fire 4 and flare and blizzard, blizzard4, freeze.. the final attack is an AoE. Potency wise it's about; 3,000, 6,000, 6,000 in that order compare to SMN's crimson cyclone which is 8,000 in potency and instantly. RDM can cast Verstone for 5,000 potency under 1.92s. While BLM can cast Fire 4 for 2.4s with a potency of 6,000. That makes absolutely no sense on why that is. Yet you have to cast Burst.... which is 12,000 and give's a shield of the same amount.

- You are dead if SAM, NIN, RDM, SMN, ever catch you or sneak up on you. (RDM has a silence, binding effect all in one,- if you think "Guard" is going work against Verflare or Verholy... it's not at all I've tried going against RDM's and they just beat me down. SMN has a gap closer, Ifrit. A stun, Titan, an Aoe, Garuda, and worse their Bahamut LB will shut you down if you have yours up in the area). Did I mention WHM LB stunning your purple glowing butt the moment they even see you coming towards them?


- Black mage has no utility to utilize in PVP; The freeze lasts only 3 seconds ( if you apply to freeze umbral to 3 stacks), Burn solely depends on the stack and the burn itself is 3000 potency. Again compared to the other casters, RDM and SMN, it's abysmal in performance. You would just do better to just play RDM and SMN for what they can offer.

- You have the worst LB and allow me to tell you why; first off you glow purple- you give every indication to the enemy you have your LB. You can easily be put down by others; MCH's marksman's spite would put you down before it even happens, NIN or SAM can stop you before you even build up stacks of 3 of whatever element. WAR can just stun you and combo you to death. Even an MNK can just stop you dead in your tracks - at with respect. By most of all your worse enemy of all, and LB blocker is by far RDM and SMN from just sheer strength. It seems like the LB does nothing but put a bull's eye onto the BLM to stop them more than making you cool.


- I think superflare is "okay" it's cool but it does not work on elevated heights which I've tried in frontlines it doesn't even bother registering anything if they're on a hill or on some plateau.
