edit: OH MY GOD IT'S ALREADY OUTDATED 12 HOURSL ATER
Yoshi p heard you talking shit
owned
YOSHI-P SENSED IT
Guess you gotta make the video again 😅
"Oh, that's right. No ice paradox."
Surprise Yoshi-P appears!
"Bakool Jar Jar Binks" WOW that's cursed-
'Weesa Jar Jar Binks!'
NO
I'm almost afraid to look if there is fan art of this already...
Weesa not part ah dere bombad "family". Weesa bleeessad siblings.
it do be true tho :P i honestly called him it during thee msq XD
@@lievaordiea389 Me too lol
I love how Larryzaur just casually started being an FFXIV youtuber again with no announcement or explanation, he's just here making new videos again.
8 month hiatus for 3 videos in less them 1 month is fucking christmash or something😢🎉❤
"We can eat our egis and become them"
Scholar: laughs in Dissipation and Seraphism
wish we could primalize our selves but that's as close as we're gonna get i suppose
It'd be cool if we could merge with our faeries and turn into Oberon or Titania.
the guy just said we are sponsored by: MY OWN GAME
That ending theme was a wave or hype nostalgia. Glad to have you back.
Hello Mr Larryzaur thank you for this Black Magician video. If patch notes are kind maybe I can stop eating paint and throwing crayons again.
1000 potency flare star :) that should do it
@@Larryzaur Honestly yes. Would make it feel like a better payoff.
@@Unyubabyand astral hearts staying when u swap to ice phase
And mp tick returning
And ice paradox
And revert the changes to thunder
But manafont is p good now
@@LarryzaurYou're probably joking but 800-900p Flare Star would legitimately fix a lot of the job's problems lol
Mostly because that's the breakpoint where you can do single target Flare
I am awaiting with baited breath for those patch notes ... I Do Not Want To Prog As Pictomancer ... 😕
A regular larry video? IN THIS ECONOMY???
"Warrior's a whole party," Truer words have never been said.
Having Larry back is the best thing that Dawntrail has brought us.
I miss her Larryzaur... I miss my ice paradox...
😢 me too, me too
@@Larryzaur this didnt age well lol
@@DarknessReborn50 this didn't even had time to age xD
I read that High Fire is now only worth to use at 14+ targets, and it's the silliest BLM thing I have ever heard.
5real tho?
So, ISH. Once you hit 100, the optimal AoE rotation is High Fire II (to enter Astral Fire) -> Flare x2 -> Flare Star. Prior to getting Flare Star, you still use High Fire II twice after entering Astral Fire before going into Flare. There's no upper breakpoint for that Flare Star rotation, though. I just mathed out the potencies up to a million targets, and using High Fire II for more than just entering Astral Fire is a loss even at that number of targets.
And that sorta makes sense. High Fire II deals 180p per target in Astral Fire 3, so 60p per target per second spent casting it. The Flare Star rotation above, going immediately into Flare after entering Astral Fire, is 76.4p per target per second spent casting at 3 target, and still 62.7p per at _a million targets,_ so there's no possible way High Fire II can be a gain as a result.
Ohhh that outro music takes me back to when you got me into the game. I was telling some friends who'd started in Shadowbringers/Endwalker how your "Basically" series really got me into the game, and they didn't get a lot of the jokes since the game had changed so drastically since then. I'm so happy you're back and looking forward to more.
As a BLM main, I feel the suffering
They gotta do something man, it feels like complete ass now (not to mention I’m putting in 5x the effort to get bad dps)
@@foop87wouldn’t even take much tbh, revert Thunder to work like it did before, have more ways to get to Flare star instead of just Fire 4, and re-add the big mama Ice phase tics alongside the ice spell restoring. That’s the bare minimum they should do.
And fix AOE, High Fire 2 is only a gain on _14_ enemies. *Fourteen*
@@CastersvarogIt just needs a major dmg buff tbh, pict has more utility, more DMG and more mobility... How is this fair
@@Castersvarog I've been doing the same aoe rotation from Endwalker with Flare Star added at the end since Flare counts as three Fire IVs for Flare Star.
Heya buddy! I've got this lovely paintbrush right here for you. Go nuts. :)
Can confirm, Larry's game is really cute you should definitely try it out.
I did MSQ as BLM for the first time after doing it as healer until now. I don't regret it, though I do feel DT BLM is clunkier than EW. In the end, I simply love BLM.
SAME 🔥
I'm exact same. I still like Black Mage (and played healer until Dawntrail) but it just feels wrong. especially in extreme.
Feels like a shell of EW BLM. Will not be going back to BLM after this. :( feels bad.
Somehow they made it both easier to play (ty manafont) and more punishing at the same time. Never change, ffxiv balance.
I have used BLM to clear MSQ from ARR to DT and I have never felt more neutered now than before. Manafont changes are great, but I cannot fathom how it was rolled out in its current state. PCT overtuning aside, BLM is just so weird to play now.
New Black Mage in any given moment: "It's so over, We're so back!"
Larry I know you've probably been getting this a lot but as someone who's been watching your content since like back in Heavensward it feels so good to have you back. Thanks for the video and all the laughs over the years.
You can Despair before Flare Star to refresh AF
Yuppp thats how i do it. Put 2nd flare star after despair very end
Or use paradox to refresh astral fire and give you an instacast fire 3.
Pretty sure that’s a dps lost to do fire3
If it lines up after a despair, I do all of my Xeno's + Amp if I have it, saving firestarter to refresh fire before using Flare Star
@@YellOhPanda fire 3 still serves a purpose, movement and astral fire refresh
I missed you Larryzaur! So great to see you back :D you're one of the first people whose videos I watched when I started playing the game back in Shadowbringers and you totally made me cackle ^_^ you haven't lost your touch!
This video just encapsulates the entire inner monologue of a black mage player lol
"Look at all this vegetation."
I think you meant SUCH VEGETATION. THIS WAS NOT MY INTENTION.
👏🏼
I think this is the fastest a Larry video has become out of date
yo larry this is the first time i saw your game ever and i think it looks really cool! gonna wishlist and look out for when it drops
still thinking about sitting in call the other day and you just going "hey mel? why are you leveling black mage?" with the tone of a broken man
I’m still so broken!!!
I'm genuinely glad you are uploading again. There has been so much drama in the community that the silly content is very much appreciated
Paradox can only be used in fire is the paradox!
This annoys me so much. Wtf did Paradox do, mechanically, in ice? Except make the ice phase longer? Why do you want a longer Ice Phase? It's meaningless. Also Paradox is instant in fire phase and you also get Firestarter procs.
Fuck me it really seems like players who played BLM before casually are ok with the changes, while all the autists just screech about completely useless shit like ice phase paradox and non-standard openers, fucking server tick mana regen and using transpose for something other than keeping your umbral shit up.
I am so done with the low iq takes on this.
Paradox can now be used in ice phase as well. And its unaspected dmg.
Trying to figure out my black mage with the changes too. You always verbalize what I was thinking when running a dungeon. So great to have you back.
Oh man, I am so happy that we be getting so many Larryzaur vids.
I can't tell you how much I've missed your particular flare on XIV videos Larry. We're happy to have you as long as you have time! Can't wait for your game either. :)
"I read that entirely wrong" me every time in that dungeon against that boss. My brain aint able to parse that information while also pressing 15 million buttons.
When people said Dawntrail was Stormblood 2 I didn't expect that to mean consistent Larry videos again
The last three weeks have shown me just how much I missed Larry videos. I hope you do this for every Job you level in DT
Larry is cooking FF14 is healing🙏
That outro music! MY HEART! Good to see you, Larry ♥
OMG, this made my day XD I missed these videos ^^
I came here for the Bakool Jar Jar Binks joke. My day is complete! Thanks, Larry! Glad to see you back on FFXIV grind!
Meesa edge lord with eldest son issues. Yousa gonna get screwed somehow warrior of light.
10:44 I love high dps, greedy BLMs when I run healer. I will toss a shield on you, I will bene/essential you, I will give you regens. Whatever it takes to keep you up as you explode the boss/mobs. If your lay lines are down you’re a higher priority to the tank to me. Get those sweet, sweet deeps my friends lol
It's nice to see you again Larry!
So glad to see you back, love the vids you make. Been looking forward to seeing the return. 🎉🎊
I haven't played the game since around mid endwalker (and even then I only got to SB msq wise, I was taking my time enjoy the content of each expansion before moving to the next one), and I just wanted to provide that context to the following fact exposition: Man did I love this video! I hardly understand what it means to black mage, but I just loved the sense of "hi I'm just sharing as I enjoy leveling BLM and not taking it too seriously"... Truly to have a video that's just about someone having a good time is such wonderful content. Thanks Larryzaur!
thank you for teaching me about explorer mode i had no idea
it's good to see you back, Larry ;) Hope you and your wifie enjoy Dawntrail !!
Back in Black,
Not gonna sack,
I cannot get my mana server ticks back.
Lightning Loose,
From double use,
That lets me put up my big dot
I've been using Umbral Soul
For icy mana regen roles,
Forget the flare, cause I got big goals
Leylines
Lost before my eyes
Standing in Aoes, and not running wild
Mad lad comes out of retirement, 3 videos in a month. That brings a smile to me and my titan potato plushies face
I love seeing more videos from you, they are always great to watch!
I miss old thundercloud procs already. They made black mage very fun at 50. :(
Thundercloud was the best designed dot in the game. It did so much for BLM: A dot, an instant cast for movement a high damage nuke, and a weaving window. I miss it. Nowadays weaving thunderhead early feels so bad.
So good to have you back!❤
Final Fantasy 16 really raised the bar on what summoner should be.
Everytime i see a new video here keeps making my days and me more motivated in ff
20 MINUTE LARRY VIDEO *AND* SAVAGE TOMORROW?? THIS IS THE BEST WEEK EVER
black mage is what i went through MSQ on this time, first expansion i didn't through on summoner.... it was definitely something getting used to, new thunder and new ice, etc. but manafont is almost definitely one of the best feeling buttons in the game right now
so happy to see consistent larry videos after so long! :)
Larry, just casually dropping that he's back at the end of the video makes me so happy. I'm so glad that he's back. Larry, you've been missed.
"I'm sure the healer..."
OH?!?
"...will let me do it."
aww
Welcome back king enjoy your new mana tick
Larryzaur, idk if you remember me but i was the dorky fan you met at a drawfee once in NYC. I just wanna say ty for getting me into FF14. I have my own FC now where i teach players how to play and Im getting into current savages tomorrow. Glad to see you making content for ff14 again.
We've done it! We've returned to Transpose in the rotation!
to compensate for damage calculations, black mage will now get a High Thunder Mode where they get a big beard and cast move movement-friendly spells. Please look forward to it
That ending sequence hit home its good to have you back
Oh man. I haven't heard that outro song in a long time. Welcome back, Larryzaur 🎉
HECK YEA IT’S BLACK MAGE LARRY VIDEO TIME!!!
HEALERS WILL ADJUST!!
As a fellow *sad face* smn main, I am so glad to see you returning to making videos!
Wooo Not Only Nine mention! Let's goooo 🎉
My man you being back instantly makes dawntrail my favorite expansion
3:31 silly Larry, Black Mages haven’t had ruin since cross class skills left, it’s Summoners and Scholars that use Ruin for DPS.
"Why are you leaving my ley lines!?!?" I felt that lol.
Not Only Nine prologue played and wishlisted. Good prologue. Looking forward to the whole game.
I'm glad you liked it!!
When the world needed him most, he put down his summoner dong and came black to us.
That sleep on the tortoise is a hell of a tip.
I missed ya man. So glad you're back.
To see that I'm not the only one calling him Jar Jar Binks, gives me peace 😂
As a BLM that got it to 100 then swapped over to PCT, man it's so sad how bad it feels now. I keep trying but being so restricted and hard punished for ANYTHING that breaks the standard line is really rough, the 100 ability just cements it unless you get lucky and can swift case a flare to prep it on a short line, but even that's rough. I also don't think some of the fights were tested with casters in mind, but might also just be a skill issue that I'll figure out when my casters are done.
Bro its objectively worse, it does shit damage compared to picto, picto is out dpsing every caster
You 2 just aren't very good obviously. I'm out damaging PCT with no problem. It's so easy to get flare star and use it, I have no idea what's confusing you.
@@gwynmorris5763 man those PCTs aren't very good then. I'm out of practice but, It's not confusing it's just strict and weak by potency
@@gwynmorris5763 PCT is packing more rDPS than half the melees, so... no, you're not. And who mentioned being confused? The standard rotation is better now (so long as you never make any mistakes), but nonstandard lines are just dead.
@@gwynmorris5763we could care less what youre doing in normal content with people that dont know how to play optimally, black mage potencies are obviously low
Like every one is saying and thinking, Its amazing to have you back Larry ❤️
I was a big Black Mage fan before and DT didn't change it for me. I just suffer because Picto is waaaay overpowered right now, but I'm believing in YoshiP to make things right... Eventually.
You've accurately captured what its like to level Black Mage in Dawntrail
I stopped playing after the end of 6.0 but I'm so HYPED for these Larry videos!!!
you know when its been awhile when you didnt quite remember the ending jingle
Larry is coming back to content creation?!
WE ARE SO BACK
also very much looking forward to Not Only 9!
Larry coming back wasn't on my DT bingo card but this is the best timeline
It's so relatable to remember about aetherial manipulation and the ley lines teleport somewhere in the second half of the first boss 😂
Mannnn there was something so nice about hearing your old outro music for the first time in ages...! Also thank you BLM is a class I seem to get endlessly frustrated with while playing but you saying "ooohh I'm a bad bad black mage" has made me think to change my mentality. Instead of getting mad I'm just gonna go "ooooh bad bad black mage" whenever I make a mistake or miss a proc from now on god bless you JHGXDFG
i cannot express how happy I am that Larry is back making ff content again :D
larry, you're keeping scathe in your hotbar.
You don't know it but scathe has a hidden passive that if you have it on your hotbar, you're likely to get hit even harderer and all your casts WILL 100% fail on impact and all aoes will land on your ley lines.
GOOD, I WELCOME THE CHALLENGE
Larry!! You back as a regular ! How I miss it!
Hearing that outro again has me feeling feelings.
Multiple new Larry vids? Truely a blessed time, thank thee Hydaelyn.
LARRY HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE IS TRULY BACK :D
I have also been doing my own creative projects for a while and have not been playing as much the last couple of years, so I completely understand. But anyway, I freaking love you, man
I know this is outdated as of this morning, but here's a quick thing that'll help the new rotation make a lot more sense:
Blizzard 3 or High Blizzard II is free to cast, and grants you full Umbral Hearts. Follow that up with Umbral Soul or a nice Blizzard 4/Freeze for AOE to get yourself full MP and Umbral Souls, and you're right back into fire. Toss in a cheeky Thunder if you want.
Transpose is now your oh shit I need to keep moving button. Flip over, Thunder, dodge mechanics. It's not great DPS but it's better than no DPS!
Two ice spells for all the fire magic in the world is an easy trade.
Oh yeah, and Flare grants 3 charges of Astral Flare...
It's so different but god, it's so freakin' rewarding to take on the Arcadion bosses with the new kit.
I can't believe it, there are 3 videos in a row from Larry about FFXIV this month. I think something bad is going to happen in the world. It was supposed to take a year between each video.
Oh I didn't know you could sleep the tortoise. I do happen to have it on my bar as Red Mage because I was doing some Bozja shenanigans
Glad to see you're back on video making! I too feel the same way with BLM that it is a caster that may have a longer cast but it does come with some flexibility. I started as BLM too back in 4.4 and it will be forever my main but man I gotta admit PCT feels more interactive and rewarding to play at the moment 🥲 I will miss the time of freestyle BLM pre-Dawntrail
I was thinking making transition Blizzard III recovers a bit of MP and making Despair gives a stack for casting Flare Star might make the job feels less stiff but I don't think that's the direction developer wanted initially aaaand people will skip Blizzard IV again. I personally only do non-standard rotation when I need to move or I screwed up but right now the only option is Double Thunder of Shame before getting to ice phase again, which is just sad. Not gonna lie, the 3rd charge of Triplecast sounds likely to happen given how they made a "hotfix" to AST but I'm not sure how to feel cuz PCT's "Triplecast" is also working as an AOE Fell Cleave with higher Potency..... I mean we got alternatives too, Paradox/Firestarter and Xeno/Foul but uhhh the freaking guarantee Crit Directed hit feels too different man
Personally I would put Flarestar right after Despair because it refreshes astral fire that way you dont have to worry about astral fire running out.
i will always love the fantasy of black mage and the idea of a slow casting turret mage but i blow so hard at this job. it was rough enough re-learning the job every 6-10 levels but with the update i kind of have to do it again lmaoooo. and then learn level 100 blm on top of it. something about this job stinks really bad and i think i'm finally content with it not being for me at all 😁
edit: also crazy to see so much larry videos. watched em a ton around sb when i started 🤍
I recommend going for spell speed as a black mage it feels and hit much better when you can cast as fast you need to move for mechanics
Picto is now the slow casting turret mage. BLM actually has the second most mobility amongst the casters. And their casts are only of average length now. It’s a crisis of identity now. Not sure what they want to do with it anymore.
@@SH1NK1R01 rough. it seriously sucks to see so many people upset with their job. still haven't got around to picto because the aesthetic doesn't really do it for me but i can get past that any day if it's fun and put together well.
i mean to me, as a relatively casual player, red mage has always seemed like the go-to caster since it's unique to final fantasy and remains consistent across level ranges. black mage just kind of seems like a pick for masochists i guess? 😂
omg so that's where you've been. gonna check that game. Also welcome back.
Despair refreshes, so you supposed to do flare star after despair not before.
flare star literally looks like badass Yshtola moment and I love it
Fun fact! You can also sleep the thing in sirensong sea that uses seductive scream!
I'm glad you're releasing vids again. We need to hang out and do some content together again! Hope Eve is alright!
:O The videos.........are back!
