FFXIV PVP Frontline BLM – July week 1 highlights



Here’s a bunch of BLM highlights. Basically just times when the matches are going well. And for me to look back on. Might be boring. Not cinematic. Learning how to be more aggressive.

Things to note about BLM in the video:
– When I gap-close to enemies, it grants me swiftcast, and it’s usually followed a circle of heavy damage lightning AOE around myself. That’s how I gain my job-shields.
– With job-shields, and good movement, and popping heals at the right times, I survived quite a few LB’s, including SAM and MCH.
– There’s TONS of decision-making tactics I’m using. When to run away, to dash in, etc. That’s basically like my secret sauce.
– BLM casts fire or ice. Fire gives a fire stack on an enemy, up to 3. I can use another ability to essentially cash those in for BURN, which is basically like poison. Ice, stacks up to 3 as well, but cashing in is: x1 = heavy, x2=bind, x3= Deep Freeze (stun). (I also have another ability I can weave in that will instantly take fire/ice stacks from 1 to 3)
– so basically, when I’m single targeting people, I’m handing out heavy ice damage with a side order of stun.
– Favorite combo so far- Dash in, lighting AOE, sleep AOE, regular shield and slowly move back to regroup. This throws a crowd off their focus, and makes them think they can unload on me. They’ll waste abilities and might end up falling asleep. Great time for my team to ambush on a gathered group of enemies who are now vulnerable to CC.

This week I ranked 11th on my server! wooooot!
