FFXIV The Black Mage Experience™

#FFXIV #ff14
When an Immovable object uses irresistible force.
May also cause middle school syndrome and a strong desire to selectively blame your healers.

Triplecast during Ley Lines is fine, it is something that every BLM from level 66 onwards does during their opener. While you don't get the cast speed benefit, you're still getting the recast reduction.

[@nuclearsynapse5319]

and fire 4 is *still* longer than the gcd, so you get squeeze more gcds in the ley lines

[@fishbread9208]

There is no better feeling than using Paradox and Xenoglossy at the same time, getting them both to critical direct hit, and see two big fat 25k damage numbers appear and watching 3% of the bosses health vanish

[@ann-marieellis8523]

If yoship didn't want BLMs to tank he wouldn't have given us manaward

[@thewitchbitch]

Came for the namazu, stayed for the explosions.

[@ericshiel]

Black mage is all about telling the healers to adjust.

[@Laughingcoyote1213]

Speaking facts right here 😂

[@UltraCasualPenguin]

Moving during combat is for weak.

[@walwal6449]

Man as someone who just picked up black mage, I feel so bad for my healers as this is the only class I've been floor tanking with 😭😭

[@sandbag44]

[@MaindexOmega]

1:21 Ok explain to me why did that healer pull him out the leylines? He wasnt going to get it by an aoe or anything, and both died after the movement

[@thewitchbitch]

Well the same person is in the party in the other instances, so most likely just their friend trolling them.

[@MenrvaS]

Happens to me every time i play BLM with healer friends.

[@tenaar]

My sister & I heal together and every time we're raiding with our friend, we play ping-pong with them while they're in Enshroud :D

[@LordOfDiablo24]

As a black mage vet I miss the enochian stance animation but I understood that it was a Dps loss but still used to be cool to activate it have couple old clips using it

[@taxmasterp2316]

[@ducksoup10]

Does that include Blue Mage too?

[@celesticer9949]

Missing the part where BLM reads every patchnotes and does a IRL dance cause they yet again received 0 nerfs, near 0 changes, and probably buffs. mhm mhm while doing a prayer saying " ty Daddy Yoshi "

[@dazzlemasseur]

Still doesn't beat 80k Crit direct hit Hyosho Ranryu.

[@ValeriePersonalReal]

Drk guts dark souls shitpost experience bro plls

[@arkboi2145]

This is part of the reason why #FFXIV #BlackMage is considered one of the hardest classes to play and the worst of the Casters. As a Black Mage, you MUST know all of your spells inside and out, know exactly when to use each, must maintain a specific combo, and must manage your stance at all times or it's a DPS los. Moving at all = Interrupted Casting. Interrupted Casting = DPS loss. If in an absolutely perfect world where a Black Mage never had to move, never had to do dungeon/raid mechanics, and never needed to provide buffs; then sure, they would be the game's #1 top damage-dealer. However, that is rarely the case. Furthermore, Black Mages are akin to Samurai in the fact that they provide no group or raid utility outside of their damage numbers. This is why despite them pulling high numbers, they're rarely sought after in team set-ups. Why? Because their damage is highly dependent on the encounter and its mechanics. Furthermore, a party or raid will lose significant raid utility bringing along a Black Mage VS a Red Mage or Summoner who can provide shielding, dmg+ buffs, and revives (res). They're also a liability to the team and to healers who need to "babysit" them.

[@Artycuno]

Black mage at 90 has 2 triplecast stacks, 2 sharpcast stacks, 2 polyglot stacks (can queue up 3rd as well), amplify for another polyglot, paradox, swiftcast and fast cast F3/B3. That's 14 instant cast spells that can be used over the course of 2 minutes on top of being able to slide cast. They aren't as immobile as you think. There are lots of opportunities to dodge mechanics while keeping uptime and should not be losing damage due to movement.

[@zoinksmoment]

with all these downsides to having a black mage, i'm sure no professional raid parties would ever have a BLM in their team comp, much less have any world first raid completions. oh wait

[@fishbread9208]

Haha fire IV go boom

[@nuclearsynapse5319]

The only thing that BLM needs to stand perfectly still for are the optimization strats with weird (cursed af) transpose lines. The "intended" rotation allows for plenty of mobility, such that it's not irregular to see a BLM doing high movement mechanics while maintaining top dps in a party (mainly because the melees were forced out of range)

[@max7971]

3:15 don’t tell me you are a clicker. This must be a joke, right?
