    • @KaedysKor
      @KaedysKor 5 місяців тому +1

      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.

      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.

    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

    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.

    I know this is outdated as of this morning, but here's a quick thing that'll help the new rotation make a lot more sense: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.

    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

  • @TheTech1337
    @TheTech1337 6 місяців тому +1

    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 🤍

    • @OfficialDjTalksick
      @OfficialDjTalksick 6 місяців тому

      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

    • @SH1NK1R01
      @SH1NK1R01 6 місяців тому +3

      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.

    • @tyhjyys
      @tyhjyys 6 місяців тому

      @@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? 😂
