In what instance would you use Freeze over Sleep? It takes an extra second to cast Freeze and the duration on bind is crap compared to Sleep. I suppose they don't share the same diminishing returns...

When you get the passive that makes your sleep AOE you can just start the fight off with sleep and let tank pick which mob to kill first. You don't really use blizzard 2 for the bind unless u need to hold some mobs in an emergency.
What I did notice is during Thunder weather my thundercloud was proc'ing at least twice as much. Wasn't in test mode but I'll be sure to take extra notice next time Ramuh rolls around for weather change.
Is your mind going to be your weapon,.. or your weakness?
I usually use sleep or freeze for more than 1 mob...usually best bet..or ive done it in first couple instances/duties on mobs that spawn in boss fights.
rotation talk just reminds me how skilless pve is.
What's the best grand company for a black mage?
This game is really beginning to get confusing. I have a lvl 22 THM right now, so I just got thunder 2, yet its only adding about 5 points of damage for its initial tick, and is doing the same damage if not 1 point more every tick after compared to Thunder 1. The spell is such a disappointment unless it scales later on? Some people are saying its not even worth using thunder due to its Global CD. Im hoping they remove it to make the skills usable haha. On top of that, why would I want to use fire 1, when i worked so hard to get fire 3, and barely need to use it.....And is a good good rotation exactly?....I love everything about the game so far, but THM is confusing as hell. I have no idea what I get for spells at a BLM, and I really don't want to look because I feel like im going to be disappointing. How is this class meant to be played @_@
My new rotation is: Swiftcast > Raging Strikes > F3 > F1 spam until 500 mana, using firestarter/thundercloud procs > B3 > T2/T3 depending on size of your mana pool > repeat from F3
T2 vs T3 is mostly situation, normal rotation under ideal doesn't need the length of T3, so the extra cast of T3 is worse. Ideal isn't always available when dodging etc so just using T3 is fine.
