nice, new video
you need more views ty
Playing this class because I love vivi lol
I really wish this job held the top spot in dps. It's made for it but ninja keeps stealing that spot.
Great guides, thank you for that, keep up the good work. Could you please do a Paladin guide? I would really appreciate it.
ty for guide. Decided to start my journey of suffering in this tier and this guide helped me a lot, ty :3
I may have just missed it, but when using Mana Font after the first despair, is an excellent time to burn a polyglot to avoid clipping your upcoming fire IV gcd. I always pop a Xenoglossy after despair for Sharpcast anyway even though you can totally weave it in after Blizz 3 as well. Maybe my spell speed isn't high enough yet for this strat to be an issue, could see it becoming an issue later and running out of Polyglot charges. Though the relatively short cooldown on Amplifier might negate the issue.
EDIT: Almost forgot, Fire 3 can be used on occasion instead when available, though I prefer to save it for re-entering AF3 via Paradox (ice) > Transpose > Firestarter
EDIT2: I totally forgot that Transpose now screws up your fire-phase Paradox. Even more reason to use it after that first Despair, I guess! I am still kind of salty they took away the transpose trick; it was such a fun little optimization that had been around since ARR. 🙁
BLM is the only job I am interested in but I am dyspraxia and have some trouble with physical coordination and can get easily overwhelmed when there is a lot happening on screen. I have tried my best to do the basic rotation but really struggle with it.
My damage is often some one the lowest amongst my friends and my inability to deal good damage means we struggle with some content and I often get snarky remarks telling me how bad I am and that I should switch to another job. But I have zero interest in other jobs.
It is getting to the point where I feel I should either solo content and not bother others with my presence or just flat out quit playing. Why did they have to make BLM such an unfriendly job?
in savage or extreme fights do you ever cycle back to the opener rotation once the long timer abilities start to come back up ?
What are the pants your wearing in the thumbnail called?
