    In the time it took you to watch this video:
    -Your Red Mage teammate has rezzed both healers back from the brink of a wipe. Make sure to thank them but only commend the healers, as is tradition.
    -Your Summoner teammate has built a 10ft tall lego tower and beat the boss bloody with it. Do NOT touch the Lego Tower, it _will_ temper you permanently.
    -your Black Mage teammate has succesfully completed 75% of their hardcast Flare. If they owe you any money, this is the perfect time to kill their target and act like it was an accident.
    -your Blue Mage friend has for the 30th consecutive time failed to learn a spell that is essential to completing exactly *one* 8 years old Savage Raid and will absolutely never be used again. Do not pity them, they chose their own suffering.

    Leveling Black Mage was the longest and most difficult period of leveling for me in this game. When I finally acquired the largest and most level-90-iest hat I could find, I never felt more proud of myself.
    And then I tripped over my job change bar, smacking my knee on the Red Mage button. And then I sneezed.
    And all of a sudden, I was a level 90 Red Mage. I looked around nervously. Had anyone noticed? Was Yoshi-P watching me?

    @halapenopepper Před rokem +145

    Clarification on the slidecasting: the time you're able to move is a flat half a second. On Black Mage and Summoner especially, trying to use fractions to figure it out mentally can get wonky as different spells have different cast times, so just remember if it's got less than half a second to go, that cast is finishing even if you move. Just try to be mindful of it, because there's no way to not clip when slidecasting that I've figured out (less of a problem on redmage and healers with short cast times that don't use your whole gcd), so your dps can take a significant hit if you rely on it overmuch.

      @Tnt0Tony0Tnt Před rokem +2

      if you stop moving before the castbar is done you don't clip and clipping isn't the worst thing in the world anyway since the only one of those jobs that really has to worry about it is blm and blm has to clip sometimes anyway for weaves since using an instant for every weave isn't always viable

    • @lotus1528

    -Red mages use the ancient magical knowledge of slashomancy.

      BLU is kind of weird.
      Your level caps out well below everyone else's, you have to suffer to learn any of your spells, you're not invited to any of the good parties, and you are entirely capable of soloing any dungeon with the right build. Properly specced, a BLU is the most powerful class in the game by a huge margin. Too bad you almost never get to actually use it.

      BLU can be fun for some content. I remember there was some event and people were going through a particular dungeon as fast as they could to maximize efficiency. 3 BLU and a tank was very good if your BLU had the right spells. Could kill large groups of enemies quickly, kill two of the bosses in seconds and the last boss was relatively quick if you knew what you were doing. BLU is also good for FATE farming for much the same reasons.

    • @Gamer3427
      @Gamer3427 Před 7 měsíci +2

      Back when I was new to the game, (and a lot dumber), and in the ARR era before any of the expansions came out, I was determined to play a pure Arcanist instead of upgrading to summoner or scholar, since part of what made me want to play the game was the arcanist class and the carbuncles, while both SCH and SMN lost them. At the time the way the cross class skills worked made it where you could customize a bit more and there was a few benefits to staying in a base class instead of a job, (though the loss in dps wasn't worth it at all). It let you build a more "jack of all trades" play style rather than fitting as purely into the main roles, kind of like Blue Mage, but still being able to queue for runs. So obviously, there were issues.
      I ended up using the topaz carbuncle all the time back then and depending on the party I was in they either loved it or hated it, because if the tank went down she was always there to pick up the slack, but if the tank wasn't too competent then she'd take over and cause chaos. The runs were definitely slower, and obviously looking back on it I know I was a bit of a menance as a result, but it led to some fun times. I remember having times in the 24 player raid where the tanks would die and my little carbuncle would end up tanking the final boss for the rest of the run. There were runs I got kicked for over it, but there were also runs where I got commendations and people had a lot of fun, so ultimately while I'd never do it again out of courtesy, even if it still worked how it used to, I don't regret it in the least and those are still some of my fondest memories.

    Some comments about Black Mage!
    Your rotation is actually a lot more dynamic than just fire in sync'd content, due to the constant changes to your AoE rotation. This is kind of nice, as it eases you into the more complicated single target rotations you deal with later. Mob groups require less focus for you personally, so its nice they give you something more complicated, and by the time you get Fire IV the big girl dress gets put on and you have to learn to focus on rotation and deal with single target enemies, which tend to be more involved for movement.
    Second? Black Mage is actually, and ironically, the most mobile class in the game. It may not seem it at first, but your capacity to slide to team mates and back to your ley lines means you can *zoom*, and due to the multiple charges on Aetherial Manipulation now, you're even more mobile. Its just that you're selectively mobile as opposed to generally mobile. The other casters have more general mobility, but its no where near as fast or far at any given point, and lets be real... Slidecasting is more cool when said cast is your Triplecast charges as you slide the full distance of the boss arena.
