  1. The insta-cast spell skill has the caveat on being on a huge cooldown so you can’t go spamming it. It’s mainly more for Summoners since they and red mages can rez. Black mages just play for funny numbers.

  2. While Black Mage is my favorite DPS class, Blue Mage I use most often because it's so fun. Nothing like farming Tomestones with an entire team of BLUs that blow themselves up to finish off the last boss.

  3. technically the thing with the cast bars being able to move toward the end exists in most MMOs, it based on communication latency and lag. ie the server cant check if you have moved fast enough to tell whether you moved at the end of the cast bar or not, so it just assumes IF the cast would finish before it can check next, it just assumes it did. There are actually addons for WoW that put markers on the cast bar telling you exactly when you can move, or start casting your next spell.

  4. As a Black Mage main, I can confirm that it is not at all easy to master. I still don't always do maximum dps, after having played it through the entirety of the story content and a good bit of side content (though some of that is the challenge that the later content provides). If you want an easy magic dps, it's probably summoner, honestly

  5. Hey Airer, out of curiosity, have you tried watching Girls Und Panzer Abridged? It’s pretty funny, and it finally started updating again last year after six years or so of not updating.

  6. Yeah Redmages have the nickname of 'Rezmages', and become very popular when new bosses are released and people still need time to work out the mechanics. They can basically get more than half a raid team back on their feat in less than half a minute if they know what they're doing. They lag a little behind more focused DPS though, making them a bit niche.

  7. That is a pretty standard accordion, if you're thinking of something smaller, it's probably either very old-timey, or a children's toy.
    Accordions are like bagpipes, way more intensive that you might casually assume, basically a pedal organ, that uses your hands rather than your feet, while also using the airflow as an extra control variable.

  8. Fun fact! Samurai, the physical DPS, is more of a caster than Summoner. SAM has more casts in its 2 minute rotation than SMN with SMN having a total of 4 casts if they use their free swift on cooldown for Garuda.

  9. 1:10 Whenever people die or almost die because they couldn't be bothered to move out of bad the meme you saw being coined by Larry is "healers adjust."

    3:15 That's the same viera he made the 2B thigh highs joke in the healer video I think it was.

    6:30 Yup, in fire mode your fire spells do more damage but cost double mana and your mana regen is stopped. So cast till you're empty in 3 to 8 spells. Then switch to ice mode that gives no offensive benefit but puts your mana regen into overdrive where you're full in ~6 seconds again.

    9:58 No, I don't think they were finished. NOW they are, though.

    12:00 Yup, that's blue mage. They can learn over 120 spells that monsters do by fighting them, letting them do the spell, and then murdering them. You can come up with some insanely broken and powerful combos which is why you can't do roulettes or high end content. BLU mage is either for solo fun or grouping up with 3-7 other blue mages in a premade party to utterly annihilate things. They even have their own log where you can check off doing most duties in a group of full BLUs.

  10. So for those that don't understand what JoCat meant by the bance team and Blu Mage, Blu Mage DPS is utterly insane and they can litterally cheeze/skip mechanics maing alot of the more complex figuts a joke.
