[7.1] Ohhh boy Black Mage time! If this was DT Release, I would’ve told you that this job sucks, however, it got a lot of changes that have made the job 10x better. It’s actually super fun to play now and I really enjoy it.

Soooo glad they gave ice phase paradox back
I am personally a fan of ice opener. I know it’s not the highest DPS, but it’s more comfortable, and I’m not parser.
Love the guide!
I started with BLM 2 weeks before dawn trail launched, so right as I hit 50 and got used to my rotations and movement tech, it got destroyed. Oh, my first love, how you have fallen
So anyways I'm a red mage main now
I've been complaining all day about not understanding BLM, I just hit lvl 60 this afternoon and this guide arrived at the absolute most perfect time! :'D
omg i was looking for a guide vid and found yours uploaded 1 hour ago
I'm still not 100% on thunderhead, I miss thunder procs. It's still a pretty good job to play though.
For anyone who still might struggle with fitting everything under fire phase, I would recommend trying to increase your spell speed with materia melds or different gear pieces. Black Mage is a job that scales pretty well with spell speed, and faster cast can make the job more comfortable for learning and executing the rotation. Just note the faster your cast/recast times, the less time you have to move when using instant spells or your instant abilities.
Awesome video. I have so much trouble playing black mage, although I love the idea and power fantasy of the job.
You know it's bad when u see 9 min guid…. For idiots 🤦🏽♂️
BLM is my worst job. I was surprised I enjoyed leveling it up in DT from 90-100, however this video also made me realize (again) how garbage my rotation in the job is. 🤣 BUT I did get some good tips from this! Thanks for the video!
My favorite dps job ❤️🔥
small fun trick you can do is that if you have lets say 3 seconds left on ur timer and u started a fire 4 cast that (combined with animation) would take too long for you to get ur paradox out, you can slidecast it and press paradox. the ability itself wont hit earlier but the animation will start earlier and it will let you get the timer refresh a tiny bit quicker than without it 🙂 saved me some very crucial rotations
As a professional idiot, I can assure you this video was made for me. Thank you, now I can start living my best Black Mage life in FFXIV
Easy rotation……shows 20 skills ……. NOPE!!!!!
Umbral Soul dropping down to level 35 has been a delight. To just immediately swap to it after a fight to not only fully recover MP but to also be ready for the next fight with a full stack of ice and the timer frozen in place. That and the part of how the gauge would still tick for you is an additional bonus to enjoy.
Makes me want to leave blm next. Thanks!
I'll stick with RDM & PCT. I'm too stupid for BLM
Your video editing is nice! What's the app or software that you use?
Cheeky title aside this is a fantastic guide
I appreciate how instead of looking at all the skills from 1-100 you go across the levels giving context to the play style instead of just listing off skills as you level. Thank you for the great video!
