This video is an overview of the changes to Black Mage based on the Media Tour build. Please keep in mind that the Media Tour build is subject to change so some things talked about here may not be applicable in the actual Endwalker release. I simply wanted to evaluate what BLM will look like in Endwalker based on the information we have at this time. If there is significant deviations from this build in the official release, then I’ll try and make another video to cover that if any conclusions are different.

great content!
Thx for the great in-depht analysis, looking forward to your tips and tricks. I already used your PoVs to look for advise to clear E9S – E12S, so thx again for helping me clear my first raid tier 🙂
off topic but how do you get that fire 4 animation? Also super nice video and I'm happy the math turned out to be much lower potency gain in the Ai rotation in EW than it is in ShB, while i like the AI rotation I also miss being an actual blackmage and casting Ice spells, this whole fire mage rotation really took a toll on my enjoyment of the class, felt like a fire mage in WoW, but that might just be me.
Thank you eksu very cool
