      he's allowed to do whatever he wants.
      complaining about having an instantly viral series because you dont feel like making it is like complaining you have a 1,000 dollar paycheck that you need to clock in and work to earn.
      he's free to sit around not making what the audience wants, but not if he wants the paycheck.
      pretty entitled imo to be pissed that people only watch what they find entertaining instead of religiously watching everything of his just because he wants them to.

    Friendly Clarification on Slide-Casting: You are free to move when there's **0.50 sec or less remaining in your cast.**
    This is regardless of what the initial cast time is.
    2.5 sec cast? Wait til 0.50 sec or less. (80%)
    5 sec cast? Same. (90%)
    10 sec cast? Same. (95%)
    Needless to say, it's not always 80% done.
    JoCat's explanation of Slide-Casting is sound, just not the actual numbers involved.

      its ping dependent.
      Close enough to the end of the cast bar, by the time the server sees you moving the spell animation is complete and wont interrupt you. At very high ping, read: you live in California, slide casting is MUCH harder. At bad ping you can slide cast with nearly a third of the bar left

Only off putting thing is that i do have to relearn my "rotation" every few levels. Summoner also looks like a fun magic class as well.

      the cool thing about summoner when leveling is the rotation basically stays the same, you just add new spells into the spots where you had nothing before, and the existing spells become flashier versions.
      you go from "use fire summon, do 1-2-3, use wind summon, do 1-2-3, use earth summon, do 1-2-3, wait until fire summon is off cooldown."
      to "use fire summon, do 1-2-3, use wind summon, do 1-2-3, use earth summon, do 1-2-3, use big dragon, fire summon is off cooldown by the time big dragon ends."
      to the same thing, except big dragon turns into phoenix every other usage. changes nothing about the rotation but the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc rotations have different spells literally just in the exact same spot.

      They're considered a "Limited job" meaning their kit is not balanced around the rest of the game on purpose. As a consequence of this their level cap is also always 10-20 levels below the current level cap (depending on what part of the expansion you're in) to keep them from blowing through current content.
      Because they're not balanced around the rest of the game, you also can't queue up for content like you can on any other job and instead can only go into some content and only as a pre-made group or solo, that way it doesn't ruin the experience for non Blue Mages.
      TL/DR: think of Blue Mage less like a class and more like optional side content. Fun if you're into it, but intentionally kept apart from the rest of the game.

      Blue has 2 skills made for clearing trash packs. Ram's Voice freeze mobs around you and Ultravibration is an aoe that insta kills frozen mobs. This won't work on bosses but Blue has some skills to cheese bosses too. Missile has a low chance of taking 50% of early bosses HP and Final Sting trades your life for a big chunky of damage.

      @kyotanaka920 Рік тому +1

      They have no intentions of doing that. In fact, that might've held water at it's release with how weak all it's spells were save for a select few...
      Then Square decided to fuck it and add completely busted spells from 60 onwards. Ultravibe, deep freeze, heals and shield that costs exactly 200 MP to use, and the countless primal spells that are steadily getting more and more powerful. They are beyond the point of bringing the job in line with the others, because the job trivializes almost everything. The only thing it cannot trivialize are the infinite damage mechanics that demand Tank LBs, or the fact that despite having tankier spells they are still as solid as a wet paper tissue. Like JoCat said, if it was made a normal job, the balance team would be on suicide watch.
      Just enjoy that class for what it is. I'm 4/6 of the way done to get my own Morbol Mount, which consists of an all blue mage party clearing T5, 9, 13, A4S, A8S, and A12S. Not to mention its the best job to farm old content with. Got maps leftover from shadowbringers or need to make your coin purse heavier? Blue Mage and old treasure maps. We're still holding out in more content but Square keeps insisting us being around relic stuff would be a disaster, or that blue mage in deep dungeons is a terrible idea. Meanwhile the main selling point of the job, Masked Carnival, was so negatively received that they are only giving us 1 new mission per blue expansion.

    Black Mage here! JoCat forgot a LOT of stuff! For example:
    • As a BLM, YOU are the big hat/dick DPS. As such, you must constantly remind everyone in the raid (if there is a SAM, you must DM them and compliment them on "how hard they are trying" don't forget the smiley face :))
    • All the other raid members are there to support you by STAYING THE HELL AWAY. Seriously, stay away from me.
    • Playing a Black Mage is like owning a Toyota Celica: Mechanics are to be ignored. If the healers are any good, I won't have to move!
    • YOU are the hardest class to play (efficiently.) If some other class with their ameba-brain rotation HAPPENS to out-damage YOU because YOU, through no fault of YOUR own got one-shot by a CLEARLY broken mechanic, ALWAYS blame it on a lag spike. *Even though it was my MOM coming into MY room without knocking to bring me my pizza rolls.*

    Poor Blue the greatest waste of potential they should just scale it back make it a normal job and give it new skills you learn during Xpacs

    I'm sorry but there IS something wrong with not playing your job or role properly. The people that want to clear content NEED their team to play correctly. I'm tired of this catering to the lowest common denominator. Go play in your sanctuary if you can't be bothered hearing it, but if you're trying to actually do group content, you need to pull your weight. Why play otherwise?
