Accurate!

very accurate!

Kiddo is gonna grow up to play a BRD or a MCH lmao

XD it's entirely possible

she already has an alt on my account and GeneralCat 's

(both are lalas)

she was also very enthusiastically commenting on which song I had up (we simplified them down to colors, for ease of description)

Bless

I mean, I was one of those kids that made pew pew pew noises and I went with blackmage to paladin to dancer

(I would warn my party members when I was about to drop my quadruple flare/double foul combos with "MAXIMUM PEW PEWS ENGAGED")

And then usually take an aoe to the face but eh

XD legit

and I do like BLM too

I miss understanding the blm rotation they completely changed it and I still haven't figured it out

I have basically stopped caring about trying to be 'optimal'

the hardest thing I've been doing is Titania EX

and I figure as long as I'm generally hitting my stuff that'll do

Yeah, my mastery of BLM amounts to some combination of "do the basic keep Enochian going stuff with the finishers", "try to do something productive with Triplecast when it's up", and "idek when to use Thunder, guess I'll throw one in during ice because I'm assuming they wouldn't give you a spell that was never good to use".

But I'm definitely more of a tank/healer main.

always make sure the zaps are on!

If the dot runs out, ZAP AGAIN

/the mikapaws rule of blackmaging

Yeah, I checked out a guide after saying that earlier and that seems to be the answer. Like I have it pretty well ingrained that you keep your dots up at all times barring cases where the thing is going to die/invuln very soon, but with BLM I was never sure because the game doesn't do a good job explaining exactly how much of a boost Astral Fire gives you.

So my usual tactic of "look at potencies, calculate the total for a skill that applies a dot and compare it to what else you could be doing" doesn't really work there, and I've never run anything hardcore enough on it to bother to check.

Yeah I can't keep all that stuff straight so I just go for big booms and hope for the best
