This was an awesome video. Everything about this was perfect. Explanations in real matches is such a good way to teach. Thanks!❤

[@neon9152]

I've been playing a lot more Black Mage in PVP lately and really enjoying it, I like that you don't just say "here are the skills, here's how they work, go have fun" but instead show us your thought process in an actual match and how to apply those skills. Another great video!

[@salamanderYT]

Glad your enjoying it :D and yea I try to make sure I give people a idea and understanding off what they can achieve at the very least since there is no way I can be like here do this win every time XD thanks very much :D

[@jonathanyuenkel8715]

Great guide as always!!

[@salamanderYT]

Thanks very much :D

[@dustinhatfield8373]

Ive recently discovered your guides and ive been checking them all out and i try to emulate what you do and just never manage to lmao.

[@salamanderYT]

With time you will master everything :D just harder right now with tomb stone farmer thanks to the moogle event XD

[@dustinhatfield8373]

@@salamanderYT that's an excellent point. Last night I tried to follow your advice in this guide with black mage and I was just getting shredded to pieces lol. One match I didn't even get any assists, how is that possible? I really want to master Dark Knight as it's my main in the pve content but my runs are hit and miss. I'm either effective or I get shredded to pieces. Either way their limit break just sucks.

Pancakes when :D

[@haloeightYT]

Hell yeah brother "Being a general nuisance" is a good way to describe this job it's actually so annoying to go up against (and funny to play)

[@sharkntux7402]

Bard and Black Mage, the "nuisance" jobs 😂

[@salamanderYT]

Existing to cause pain XD its the worst if your playing Tank against it if your team don't plan to help you out with a Black mage most the time that Tank wont get to play the game XD

[@salamanderYT]

@@sharkntux7402 Could not agree more hence why I rushed down the Bard players there can be only one nuisance on the field XD

Glad you liked it :D

Great guide, at the moment i am working on improving my movement using Aetherial Manipulation, I started enjoying BLM a lot :)

[@salamanderYT]

the fact we get 2 charges is insane putting a instant 16k damage and barrier at the ready and makes ice rotation better since you wont need to be standing still on top off being a engage and disengage I may have enjoyed my Black mage matches more then I should have XD

[@starmiz1740]

Awesome video. There's something I have always wondered about: does the AoE of Flare/Freeze add the fire/ice stacks too or is it only to the primary target?

[@NoName-zh1jz]

AOE will give everyone that got hit a stack! :)

[@salamanderYT]

Well put you beat me to the response :D

[@pwojtcza]

If possible can you put DRG in next poll ? I never really got around to give DRG enough time. As bonus maybe include void bunny insight section, she is THE DRG main after all ;)

[@salamanderYT]

I can indeed and she does love pointy stick stab stab

[@NoName-zh1jz]

As a BLM main, I wish I could consistently get more value off of sleep. It’s a really good CC that forces opponents to either use up their guard or take the CC, but no one ever crowds lol. The most I can usually inflict opponents with sleep will be 2 players lmao. Also, sometimes I just hardcast burst if I am not being focused on. Not sure if it’s the way to go, but usually when opponents are focusing on a certain player in a crowded manner, I often sneak in and cast burst along with foul (if I have one) which will be a hard 24k (bonus dmg if they are asleep) to everyone near me but not aware of my presence. It’s very risky though, high risk high reward.

[@salamanderYT]

yea most times I would also just throw sleep onto a player I am chasing while spamming freeze to really force actions out off them XD that rare moment you hit the whole team though :D I will sometimes burst before going in aswell just to have that barrier and start the cooldown works pretty well in longer team fights

[@Tinandel]

Sleep is great on the very first encounter, when teams often get careless about grouping up. After that... yeah, a lot harder to hit multiples.

[@jonathanyuenkel8715]

Would you ever consider doing a guide like this for Astro? :)

[@salamanderYT]

Yes I plan to get one done for each roll :D

[@jonathanyuenkel8715]

@@salamanderYT woohoo!! :D I’ve been having a ton of fun playing some casual matches as Astro in CC, I’d love to see what I’ve been doing right or wrong when your guide comes around for it!!

[@lolleonlolable]

i have alot of problems targeting players, its really hard to see witch player my target is (i play on 4k) the tiny circle arround the player i have in target is bearly visable, can i enhance that somehow ?

[@salamanderYT]

I am not entirely sure on that I have never looked into if there is a setting for making the circle bigger or not

[@IVsyi-]

The opposite element becomes instant cast after using Fire or Blizzard spell. Useful when you need to chase and harass

[@salamanderYT]

Indeed :D
