FFXIV TOP BLM POV - [Kindred] 1st Stream Team Clear

Log: www.fflogs.com/reports/L6qYp8...
World 6th (according to FFLogs) and 1st stream team to clear.
What a fight to prog. From starting out on RDM, to changing to SMN for more damage, to finally settling on BLM for even more damage, I once again feel blessed to have the opportunity to whip out every caster job for a world race. Although my BLM was shaky for the first couple of hours of swapping to it, after getting comfortable on P1 I'd say that the swap was a good choice. The consistent damage profile of BLM allowed for more ease in some of the tougher DPS checks for 2 minute comps, namely in P4 which it will perform over other classes the most if your group decides to use 2 minute cooldowns at the end of P3.
This fight on BLM proved to me once again that proper planning of resources in and out of a pull can let a BLM flourish in any setting, even in a world prog setting. The combination of phases with longer periods of uptime (2-4 min) and phases with many segments of shorter uptime (30-60 sec) allowed for a nice variety of phase timings that made the fight interesting to plan out. Although my P6 was far from clean, I'd say that I'm overall fairly happy with my general performance rotation-wise.
Once again, although my rotation is far from optimal, I believe the majority of the decisions I make (especially in the longer uptime segments) are ideal with prog in mind and I try to emphasize staying flexible and versatile with my rotation choices when needed. I plan on doing a stream where I review my gameplay and talk through my rotation and thought process in more detail, and perhaps entertain more optimized options.
My only regret this pull is that I did not joelcast.

You guys were the team I was rooting for from the beginning. CONGRATS ON CLEARING! I'm so happy that you are also the first on stream to clear, you deserved it! I'll be rooting for you next ultimate, that's for damn sure.

[@WolfMasterXV]

Those callouts for mitigation are gorgeous!

[@gianttigerthots]

lolol

[@Vaeltis]

The team callouts were clean AF, congratulations to you and everyone in Kindred!

[@Dizzy1407]

"Surely this is it right?" "I dunno, just hit the fucking boss!" I felt that lol

[@Karashote]

people that speak up like that during a close enrage push are so stupid

[@kouathalla9040]

You say scrappy BLM rotation? I say most BLM should take example from your flexibility in adjusting rotations depending on the raid needs. Brilliant performance and a well deserved clear. Congrats!

[@richardwicker8456]

Absolutely agreed, being able to use an improvised rotation and do so effectively is a mark of a great BLM.

Takes balls to prog and clear an ultimate on BLM. Well done!

It was amazing watching you guys prog. Didn't miss a single day of stream! Your team synergy is incredible and such a pleasure to watch. RED GANG

[@Soharyu]

THE BATTLE ITSELF AND YOUR ROTATION IS FREAKING AMAZIIING, CONGRATS FOR THE CLEAR FOR YOU AND KINDRED TEAM!! OOOOH MYYY GOOOOOOOOD IM SO HAPPY

[@RixsEmporium]

Call outs and communication were so good! Massive congratulations 🎉

[@happy_camper]

Great vibes in this team, you guys have a great attitude. It was awesome to watch!

[@kohveras]

I’ve wanted some kind of fight where we get to chain limit breaks back to back to back for so long now! That last phase was so awesome to watch

[@IssicheaV]

UWU?

[@YUXKE]

UWU already did this, but for just 4 LBs in a row. This one took it a step further

[@kohveras]

Had to go back and watch UWU It wasn't one I followed XD. Was pretty epic there and it's still incredibly epic in TOP. It's just a crazy spectacle to see multiple limit breaks going out.

[@shard4155]

@@kohveras Can't wait for next ultimate to ask 16 LB in a row if we keep doubling LB count XD

[@Kougaon]

Absolute legends, bringing a black mage too. Well done boys

Nice job Kindred!! Kicked ass and so fun to watch the whole time, thanks for the ride, crats on the win! :D

[@Harrowing999]

What in the actual hell is that final push? Every player in the party taking a turn for the limit break and it being required to do so? What a crazy fight. I’m never going to be good enough for ultimates but damn that was entertaining

[@Daccura]

Yeah I was wondering that too - that phase looks pretty insane.

[@nasch3391]

The lb3 tank took damage magic number debuff that need to be cleansed by lb3 healer follow up, the melee for damage and caster+ranged for towers as well, cmiiw.

[@einherjar4902]

And makes a ton of sense. We already know LB3 is basically the application of Dynamis and this whole last phase is all about Dynamis and omega using it.

[@icanspelle6050]

Good enough or have enough time to waste

[@lostsoldier415]

Im glad Omega didn't straight up delete you from existence in the ultimate. The savage enrage gave me existential nightmares.

[@startear]

So funny that the boss was not killed in the end 😂 Congratulations!

[@HarumiYu]

"My rotation was far from optimal", man, in a game where people pay skip and don't read skills, or level up and do high end content level 90 being clueless about their own job, BLM saying is impossible to do proper rotation in P7S and so on, you did a really fine job, adpted really well and played clean AF, really nice job and congratulations team Kindred. And I won that day, red was indeed defamation.

[@eW91dHViZSBpcyBjZW5zb3JzaGlw]

wow omegas final form looks like something outta hindu mythos a la shiva, or vishnu. so badass man! this was WAY better than thordan ex. i wished we got Warring Triad Ultimate but oh well. Congrats team, an AMAZING performance!

[@Andyjoe522]

Funny thing is, if they do decide they want to go back and do a Warring Triad ultimate at any point, Kefka's technically free for it if they want to throw him in, since he wasn't used here. I would also love to see trial series like that get Ultimates. Four Lords is practically asking for it with how the looming threat of that story was dealt with in a cutscene.
