I’m just wondering about that head piece. It’s so cute.

There are 2 kinds of people, those whos fav job is picto, and those who haven't played picto

RGB is still important because it generates Holy charges. On a target dummy there's no reason to use it but in a real raid scenario there's plenty of situations where you need to use Holy instead of RGB for movement.

Get rid of the astral/umbral timer or make the job straight up the most powerful dps in the game every single patch with no misses, no reason for that much stress, effort and being punished over a very tight timer and convoluted movement to be just mediocre-DPSing, I think the first option is terrible and it's the whole point of the job, then why this isn't the most dps in the game by far yet? Honestly flare star sucks a massive dick, you lose it when you change it to umbral ice so it's an insane punishment, you lose thunderhead/astral fire with this job on a timer when you get in some cut-scene transitions and gets massively punished, when you need to move and you don't have insta-casts and your timer is around 5 to 4 seconds guess what? get ready to get punished using transpose and lose your fire IVs, despair and flare star and your wife and children and your house now you are homeless good luck And if with all this mind-fuckery and stress during astral fire you dare to die? good luck doing less damage than a mosquito while a dumbfuck with a pencil press 1 to do damage and does 5 holy + 2 dashes and rides a F1 car to move and do more damage than the entire raid.

Hi I find the burst window insanely tight and it's pretty frustrating not weaving or clipping l, half a sec to squeeze in rainbow drip is there anyway to improve this ?

Much as I’d like to join the discussion of Black Mage, I know my opinions are unpopular and go against what the majority of black mage mains and parsers think, so I’ll just keep my casual mouth shut

That feeling "yeahhh..." At the end. Tired but super happy.

How u dont clip the 4.5 opener

im amazed you passed transition without tank LB.

How to get your cool hat?

Not only do I think BLM is bad, but I honestly think it has accessibility problems. And meanwhile Picto over there gets to go “haha funny picture go burr”. What are we? Chopped liver?

Picto is such a well designed class. My only complaint is that they could have combined the mutually exclusive buttons.

they gave ice paradox back which I good but I hate the thunderhead system. I want thundercloud back

And now suddenly Rank 61, not Rank 27.

A very educational and great video! I've learnt a lot from it! Thank you so much for putting this up! There's only 2 question I had in my game play for 2.48s GCD: 1. Can you use Star prism as your 1st GCD in burst phase for waving? 2. Can you single wave OGCDs after each Subtractive Palette Combo in burst phase? I barely noticed any differences, but I dont think people really do that and I wonder why.

thanks for this! looking forward to your full BLM guide! keep up the good work!

Love how informative and easy to follow this guide is! Amazing content and had to subscribe 😊 Thanks!

Im surprised by your comments. I dont feel Black Mage to be clunky at all. I actually feel it super mobile and smooth

finally a solid guide on picto , thanks

Fair point But meh It's fun to play so I'll keep doing so

“Perfectly balanced”

OMG,, whats this with the new word.. WEIRD???

Making flare star instant cast would be really nice. A lot of the times I find myself drifting manafont purely because the flare star cast at the end of fire phase. Making thunder proc 40 seconds also sounds like a reasonable change. As far as potency goes, I really feel that flare star shouldn't be so much lower potency than xeno. Not just from a balance perspective, but also because it's literally our lvl 100 capstone skill. It should have the big flashy numbers to represent that on a job that's supposed to be *the* selfish dps. At the very least I wonder if it would be a good thing to make flare star auto crit like Samurai's Midare. Finally, the astral soul stacks need some kind of rework. Maybe add an effect to transpose that locks in the stacks through ice phase? That way you can keep the stacks during downtime or otherwise need to emergency swap to ice phase because you messed up your rotation or something? It gives the system some amount of forgiveness that's sorely needed. Getting punished because the fight itself has 15+ seconds of downtime is just not good design.

They need to give a heal maybe even do something like adding it to Manaward as a kind of “sanctuary” type effect reduce damage and heal slightly or where ice recovers MP have fire ( with some restriction) slightly heal. They should also add a second charge to Ley Lines or lower the cooldown. There are a few things they would need to do to LL to make it more useful ( make it work for others, be able to slow the timer if you are standing in it or something) they could also have it work to where you cast both charges at different locations and you can teleport “ between the lines”. Redraw should refresh the timer as well if they don’t add a second charge. That could be our utility spell easily but they probably wont do it.

I dont know why people say FF14 has better balance than WOW. wow buffs and does updates much more often ff14 only does them on their pre planned patch days which can be months apart. On top of that FF14 has significantly easier time to balance stuff yet they consistently fail every expansion.

thunder is crap now. If you reapply right before it ends its dps loss.

I like thunder being insta cast but let’s make it an ogcd move no cast time so with the tight cast windows I can still cast or change phases any time without losing the proc Also make flare star stacks stay so I don’t lose ‘‘em during phase transition Maybe from 720 to 780/800 potency for flare star so it feels better to cast Also enochian 35 % incoming

I think we should all be focusing on the fact that ice mage blm is now a thing with blizzard iv / freeze not unlocking your timer and thus being unlimited cast. Thank you squeenix very cool

Yes, because it is a very complicated class that doesnt bring a good payoff. It can be complicated, but it should be top dps.

One more issue with this patch is the gears. Barring savage raid gears, most of the gears pieces dont have SpS.

I think they'll always be fun in Frontlines. So, not a complete loss.

This was really helpful, thank you! Good to know that I managed to grasp the basics of the job, now it's just to learn the fights and timings to use skills at the best times and be able to move and not paint stuff I won't be able to use.

My ears will never deceive me, there is Crystal Chronicles music in this video.

black mage ice only . When you consider mana

The thing is: the connecting most BLM mains had to their class was already unhealthy. On an american server there was even a BLM funeral, where everyone was dressed in black. This is ridicolous. Yes, the class has changed. Not for the good. At all. But these changes are mostly annoying for BLM mains. A new player who does not know how BLM once was wont really understand this outrage. And I think that was the main reason for the change: because this class was hardly accessible for new players, because of its very unique and for some people "exhausting" playstyle.

Thank you, I normally pick up a new class' mechanics just looking at their abilities... but I was stumped on Pictomancer until I found your video. You have been very helpful.

my issues is with Flare Star like you said all your progress falls off if you change from fire to ice i have tried doing full rotation countless times on a target dummy and cannot complete a full rotation due to either astral gauge resetting or running out of mp so i instead throw in a Flare to make up the final 3 stacks which i then cannot finish with despair. plz ffxiv make astral stacks permanent until used up.

I'm all for the flare star instant cast

The class basically is: Endwalker plus "astral star", witch is a buffed fire 4 meaning, blm got nothing practically, while other classes, actually got some interesting things.

While I do feel that the cast time > gcd time is part of BLM's identity, it's honestly a dated caster limitation that I think will only hold the job back as endgame mechanics continue to become more complex.

where markers

Black mage should out dmg all casters since you can’t move most of the time making it harder.

Summoner is terrible in DT... BLM can overdmg SMN by miles now... EDIT: I'm not playing Picto, it can go to hell <3

This vid just makes me sad now

If you get the rotation down you feel powerful. If you have a hard time with the rotation, go RDM or Picto.

When doing some of the higher end content where movement is constant and I am out of triple cast for whatever reason the umbral soul ability is so damn nice because I can maintain it while using Xenoglossy or Thunder and not lose it.

I Cannot understand why Blackmage And Samurai are so hated. 'uh they dont have any utility' omg. Every job subset (tank, heal, Melee, Range physical, Range magical) has at least one Class which has more Boom power and less support skills. For examble Melee, Samurai, range phys gunner, Magic Blackmage. Isnt doing dps any support? The faster mobs/boss down, the less dmg to party. in most other mmorpgs Games dps classes with best and highest DPS are most welcomed.

Eksu… i am doing a really low dmg on pct… It is 705 non melded around 20k dps… I cast 24/7 and burst every 2 min Everything on cd…

nefarious plan: 1. make despair turn into flarestar when you have astral soul stacks, with despair base potency + scaling based on soul stacks 2. make flarestar instant cast this will make it feel good to use as its potency will be the highest (as a finisher's should rightly be) and you won't lose out on soul stacks. also means if you need to emergency move, you finish your fire phase early and can go right into moving might also enable alignment lines and optimisation based on KT - if you are going to lose 2 f4s over the entire phase, which 2 are best to lose? really for dawntrail they should have buffed standard rather than suffocate non-standard, buff the spells that non-standard avoids due to them being weak so that theyre no longer worth avoiding
