BLM

I've been thinking of doing blm but I'm iffy on it now. Is max level blm simply a questionable 1 or 2 rotation order of spells?

No elemental weakness will generally mean a more standard across-the-board spell rotation for high level mobs, and I agree it sounds a bit boring, but just looking at that doesn't take into consideration a few things.

First, a live scenario where we could be called on to sleep/bind mobs, buff the tank with Apoc before a boss special, or keep Lethargy/heavy on an enemy that needs to be kited. This is me just imagining but I'm holding faith in SE to bring out the best from each job and make use of each skill. Second, these rotations are constantly broken due to Firestarter and Thundercloud which really help to keep it from feeling repetitive. That and add on top the occasional Flare and Meteor (When we get to use it).

This is just my opinion but I feel BLM will be dynamic enough to keep us from getting bored.

I really like this part. So hard to use a LB because everyone else clicks it as soon as it lights up lol

Very noob question but I was just curious, Do you guys think there is anyway to put Scathe in a rotation that uses it effectively?

short answer: no

BLMs run on a proc/priority system, not a set rotation

essentially you do have your simple rotation of spells, but that's only valid if you have no procs up, rotation goes out the window when you get thundercloud and firestarter - every other job (aside from bard) has the simple rotation thing you're talking about

sure elemental weaknesses are gone, but those only meant you were casting two slightly different spells than the previous encounter

there was nothing magical or deeply strategic about spamming Blizzard IV on half the enemies in the game
