- Hello! Pictomancer is a caster that specializes in flexibility and fight-based optimization. Let’s take a look at how to play it, and how to optimize its damage.

My subjective thoughts:
Pictomancer is honestly one of the most fun jobs I’ve seen in the game in a while. My personal preference is for jobs with a lot of fluidity, jobs with simple cores that can be adjusted and changed to match the boss. Reaper, Blackmage, and so on. Picto fits right in with that category and carries those ideas more explicitly than almost any other job before it. The whole rotation is completely flexible, with so many layers to plan out and optimize that no two fights are going to look alike, and that’s awesome. I’m so glad a job like this is in the game, and I hope we see more jobs like it.

I feel yours is the best and most thorough guide to Pictomancer because of your focus on expressing the freedom within the job. Great vid! I hope you cover more jobs.
I went from SMN main to PIC and although I miss my rez dearly, i do enjoy the freedom this job provides, not being stuck in a very long rotation. And the bonk hammer is very fun and satisfying to use XD
The mobility gets some time to get used to. Thank you for the advice of not using Holy all the time because when you have a lot of attacks to dodge, you're very happy to have your overflow of white paints to move around. I'd say that the mobility for this job is a good middle ground between SMN and BLK.
Anyway, good guide!
Great video! I think each section explained exactly what we needed to know, nothing more and nothing less, which made it much easier to understand and follow along.
Great guide, subbed! Love how easy it is to listen and follow along, your pace and tone of speech is excellent.
I'm putting this into my watch later for now (only watched a bit) but I just wanted to say before I forgot that you have a good cadence and way of explaining things. Appreciate the content!
Omg, I love your guide. Thank you so much! You explained so many things that I was confused about. I wish there was similar guide for Viper because that job is even more confusing and I don't like playing class who tells me to "just press anything, it'll work fine".
Dude this guide is perfect!! Thanks!
Thumbs up to this guide! Really good intro into the basics of the job and very good details into more of the nuance and complexities with maximizing it. Appreciate it!
Thank you for your hard work, this is very thorough and easy to understand. You tha best!🙏
Definitely using this to learn the job - thanks a bunch
Best guide I've watched
Love the way you explain things. Hoping for a Viper video too!
This is a fantastic video! 👏 easy sub thanks for taking the time to make it
Really good guide for picto! Thank you for putting this together. Consider me subbed :)
This is such a good guide
I love that they use color theory on this Job.
Fire in Red
Aero in Green
Water in Blue
These are the three additive colors. All of them mixed will result into...
Holy in White.
Blizzard in Cyan
Stone in Yellow
Thunder in Magenta
These three are subtractive colors. All of them mixed will result to...
Meteor in Black.
I have a question. I found out that even after you used up all of Hyperphantasia, you can still cast Star Prism where ever you like without cast time. What is the reason to cast Star Prism during Hyperphantasia and used up a stack of its buff for seeminly no benefit, when I can use it on regular skill and have the reduced cast time buff?
Great question! couple reasons:
1) Hyperphantasia affects both cast time AND recast time. even if Star Prism doesnt have a cast time, it means you can use your next spell faster if you use it in grass, which is important to get your 9 GCD's. This is the primary reason.
2) Hyperphantasia is paired with the raidwide damage buff, and its important to use Star Prism under party buffs because its such high potency
3) We want to use the free rainbow drip during our burst, and because of point 2 we want to use Star Prism during burst. Star Prism can help you clear Hyperphantasia to get to rainbow drip.
Hope this helps!
@@SiffusVera oh I see I see thank you so much! That really clears things up a lot because I was so confused as to why even have that effect in the first place since it seems redundant. But having the choice to clear Hyperphantasia faster is def a plus.
But now I have a very situational question that I am curious about:
If during a perfect situation where you can use subtractive pallet back to back (meaning you can use 5 big attacks back to back), and you have enough attack window to do so, then after I finish Hyperphantasia I’ll continue the two Rainbow skills, will that increase my overall DPS? Or is it that because of your reasons above there really isn’t a reason I should cast Star Prism outside of Hyperphantasia?
@@LionStaringAuraKingdom You would still want to use star prism inside hyperfantasia. Remember, you can only fit 9 GCD's under raid buff. If you want to use 5 hits of your negative pallet combo, you NEED to use ice somewhere in there, its unavoidable. Unfortunantly, every other thing you have access too that isn't a basic combo will deal more damage than ice. Star Prism, Rainbow Drip (assuming its got the buff), Any hit of your hammer combo, Etc. Its important to use only the most potent GCD's under raid buff, which is why we optimize ice out if necessary.
@@SiffusVera ok I get it now. Thanks a bunch! Really appreciate it and keep up the good work.
There is a 3rd alternative to 2mins burst you could use holy to replace one of CYM combo to get 9gcd.
I have a question. What are the recommendations for melds? Should spell speed be melded into gear?
I just should have never started to play this game
For me cons are pros
So pretty much build and spend like every other class
Amazing and thorough guide! I've been looking everywhere for a guide that really covered everything and yours did! Thank you so much!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
