BLM

[LetBloodline]

to be compleatly fair we miss the chance of proc trait in firsts 0-3(maybe 6?) seconds and powered thunder end before refresh while thunder 3 whould do 35/70 more potency but for that we need numbers on length of rotation and consider if fire starter proc adding 2.5 sec or not and things like that, number probably will be too low to be worth calculating maybe around 3-7 more potency in the end

Sorry for bothering this Thunder I vs. Thunder III deathmatch.
But what is actually the reason to use BM over THM?

[shinros]

You have higher stats thats reason enough to use black mage.

But you are losing
- crit aura 20%(pugilist)
- dmg aura 20%(lancer)
and some handy spells like convalescence, mantra, etc
arent them enough to compensate stat difference?

internal release il 30% crit but only 15 sec every 60 sec
blood for blood is 30% as well for 20 sec every 80 sec (and 25% dmg taken >.<)
we still have 20% boost from archer

You have more life more mana more magic potency more heal potency ALWAYS. And i'd say it's not just few points
Plus i find pretty useful convert for when i cast too many fire or when i want to make full use of archer buff and trow one more fire with 20% buff

And they give you equipment that are class specific with really good stats compared to nonmelded ones. I'm now lv 47, if i'd have to remove BLM i'd have to find equipment on par on that and i don't think i'll find it easily

they anyway said that class should be optimal for solo plays with more versatility but jobs are better for party plays where you can count on other ppl doing their job and you should focus on yours

[Patiences]

so damn confused on what is the sub job for BLM is it archer or arcanist, really which is it i dont want to waste my time with the wrong class

[LetBloodline]

Archer BUT you should at least pick the heal out of arcanist. Both class have actions that you can take and use for BLM so neither is really wasted

I really do hate leveling up...

is there any valid end game reason to lvl archer past 15? same question with the other class Arcanist.

Quelling Strikes at Archer lvl 34 and Eye for an Eye at Arcanist lvl 34.

The only time I cast Thunder III anymore is at the start of the fight to give the tank time to generate threat and with swiftcast during regen phase.

I had no idea AOEs do not break bind, thanks DrEubanks.
