Black mage is simultaneously the most frustrating and satisfying class in the game. It takes a lot of practice just to perform. . . adequately. But, the rush you feel when playing immaculately is, to me, unmatched by any other class.

This is the really frustrating thing. The game actively is growing more hostile to the class with time, fights getting a lot more mobile and the like. And it would be a pretty frustrating class without the timers to manage simply because of the long cast times. When it lines up, it is pretty satisfying. But at the same time, I can have a pretty satisfying experience on a class that doesn't kick my teeth in all the time because I was half a second off on my rotation's timing. The class can be just as satisfying without being anywhere near as frustrating, and I feel it needs the frustration levels massively dropped on it. It's high time the class got the love it deserves.

@@OnyxBMW I think the struggle really adds to the payoff of performing well. I completely dropped SMN in EW cause they made it far too easy for me and I no longer enjoy playing it *at all.* I actually *want* at least a couple challenging classes that offer a lot of opportunity for optimization. I understand where you're coming from, the class is *hard* and not everybody is into that. . . But what pushes you away from the class, is exactly what draws me to it, so unfortunately I must disagree. Making all of its moving parts work together is what I love about it, and It'd genuinely break my heart if they do to BLM what they did to SMN. I don't think your complaints are invalid, I just enjoy overcoming the hardships of the class myself, rather than having the game simply remove them for me. Having played BLM since ARR, I'd say the current BLM kit is already the most accessible and least frustrating it has been in quite a long time. I'm hesitant to make it any easier, because I don't want its depth to be sacrificed.

@@Honey-Biscuit My issue with it is that there are parts of it that are hard that have no business being hard (AF/UI timers, primarily a skill floor thing). Whereas there's parts of it that are hard but make the class have strong payoff (Having to sit still to cast despite bosses wanting you not to.) See, the former makes the class difficult to approach, difficult to understand, and frustrating because it's a very easy and exceptionally punishing and frustrating way to fail. The latter is punishing to fail (the most punishing of any class to drop a single GCD) but it doesn't torpedo your damage if you do fail it. Like if you miss a GCD on SAM, it's not going to tank your damage and you can recover the rotation, but mastering it is actually the majority of BLM's difficulty. The latter is great, the former is why I actively stay away from the class or limit my exposure to it despite how good I am at it. And mind you, I'm actually a good Black Mage, at least statistically, as 90th percentile, 95th+ viable, and have seen 99th percentile parses in somewhat low-competition fights. Nothing is more frustrating than doing a boss and being the only class in the game that drops critical class resources and dumps potential damage outright because I lose control of my character. The newest expert dungeon's final boss is a fantastic example of a giant middle finger to Black Mages specifically. It's especially sad because literally every other class in the game has, at this point, lost this weakness outright. I also feel that said timers are actively holding back the class. They limit what the devs can do with the class because everything by necessity must fit within the timers. And just as with Monk and their timers, once you remove their existence, it opens up room for a more interesting class mechanic. See, I'm drawn to the optimization aspect of BLM. The find a safe spot, sit still, and cast aspects. Preparing for what bosses do in advance, etc. But I hate that the class basically hasn't changed meaningfully since Stormblood in terms of how its rotation progresses, and if you ignore the original implementation of enochian specifically, its actual core rotation hasn't meaningfully changed since then outside of Enochian. All while keeping a lot of the problems it's had since this period. Basically, I want BLM to actually move forward for once, instead of being the oldest class with one of the jankiest rotations objectively that just happens to be popular despite its massive jank.

@@OnyxBMW I'm someone who enjoys overcoming the challenges of BLM so much that I wouldn't play the game if I were any other class. However, you bring up perfectly valid and true criticisms a lot of other BLM mains just don't want to hear and outright deny for whatever reasons (maybe it's an ego thing, maybe they're afraid of what could change and how, etc.) But you are 100% correct on everything. My biggest worry in ShB was how fights were getting more movement oriented, but BLM still had no options. In EW, we got more options that felt great, but the new 6.2 EX fight, even its base version, is pretty much a "no BLMs allowed" zone. It's literally a giant "F U" to BLMs. I love overcoming the challenges of optimizing my class and predicting where I have to be, but that fight proves that once again, BLM is not equipped to handle where the game is heading. And it isn't just that one fight, the game has been outpacing BLM'a design for years now. I worry greatly for 7.x if something doesn't change, because if things are kept the same way, BLM won't be a viable option.

Late to this thread but i recently gave up trying BLM. I think BLM suffers a lot when leveling. Im only 600 hours into my FFXIV adventure so im still figuring out my main (though i have to say iv taken a strong liking to ninja recently). I found that when i was trying out BLM, the interrupted casts in dungeons because others kill the mob so much quicker...paired with the fact that BLM doesn't get any of its stronger spells till 60+ made the job the worst levelling experience iv ever had. I am still levelling it on the side slowly in my own time as maybe ill enjoy it more when i have more of the job actions, but tbh i feel myself going more towards the flowy movement of Ninja/Monk.

For the longest time I thought that BLM would be my least favourite job to level, and I put off even unlocking it for a long time. But after seeing Yoshi-P and other ice mages in PvP, I wanted to try it! And after suffering through the hell of getting to level 15 by casting fire on a million hornets, I found myself shocked that I was actually enjoying it. The different rotation concepts each 10 levels is wild and confusing at times, but hey, in roulettes where the AST is complaining about not even having the card system unlocked, or a WHM without regen or holy, and most melees having no aoe at all, you’re just chilling with at least THREE aoe spells already. I play on a DC of a completely different continent, so ping is a problem, snapshotting is not kind to me, and slide casting is nearly nonexistent which leaves a lot of times dropping the buffs where I otherwise would have been completely safe. Because of this, I can’t say it’s my favourite caster, but maybe on my region it would be. Despite the core theme of BLMs not moving as much as possible, my absolute #1 favourite thing about BLM is the movement! I love teleporting to party members and zipping back into my leylines the second an aoe is dodged. It feels fantastic and the asethetic of all the spells is great. And most importantly of all… it has the best victory pose.

To effectively play Black Mage you need to know EVERY boss pattern and ALL mechanics of EVERY fight you are in. You also need to know the healers role (damage spikes) because you KNOW you're gonna stand in that pee pee puddle to get off that Fire4 and you need to make sure the they have the extra resources to heal your greedy ass. You're basically a DPS that needs a raid leader's knowledge on every fight.

Black Mage has been my favorite job in the entire FF franchise. I played blm in FFXI in it's heyday. When I got FFXIV, even before making a character, I knew I was going to main blm. Again, I came from XI, so it being slow and janky at low levels was fine for me, I didn't know any better nor how the other jobs felt. It wasn't until I was a few months in that I heard about it's rep as probably the hardest job in the game. When I heard it, I thought "how hard can it really be?" Almost 2 years later, I'm doing all the EW extremes and am trying to make my way through the current savage tier (one day we'll get past P7S) all as black mage, and you know what? This job is a freaking pain. I got every job at 90 now and pretty much every job is way easier than blm. My 2nd fav job is dnc and it's so great being able to move around wherever the heck I want and still keep up my ABCs. Yet, despite all of that, blm is still my favorite, and by a country mile. The feeling of clearing an extreme or a savage on this job is so freaking satisfying. Especially when I manage to get something higher than a grey parse. Black Mage is the best job in the game, and no one can tell me otherwise. Don't wuss out and play rdm. They aren't real casters. Be a real Chad and play Black Mage, just like our lord and savior Yoshi P. Although I do play dnc a lot when I don't feel like making my life hell lol.

Pro tip as a decade old blm main: Don’t use your triple casts/swiftcast when you’re not moving, they’re you’re get-out-of-jail card to maintain your uptime during mechanics. Save your xenoglossy for burst window, when they’re about to go above 2 stacks and when you have to move, don’t blow them on cool-down. Use your teleports when you have to move long distances. It’s possible to have 99% uptime for pretty much everything as long as you play smart and manage your resources properly.

I appreciate that something like black mage exists. I like a couple dps jobs, but black mage I fell in love with. I like tanking and healing because large parts of your kit are up to you to figure out how best to utilize it, and what you do is gonna be different from fight to fight. While I enjoyed some dps jobs like samurai and red mage, I always felt like I'm hitting buttons in a line, and the next button I press has a pretty predetermined "correct" answer. Meanwhile with black mage I feel like I'm constantly making decisions on what to do next. While there might be a theoretical perfect rotation for each fight, it takes such a long time to figure out what that is, and black mage's damage isn't balanced assuming anywhere near optimal play. While triplecasts and xenoglossies being in raid buffs is optimal damage, if doing that results in lost uptime, then its not worth trying to line it up. the job can be surprisingly accessible when you break the "must save everything for raidbuffs/spam on cooldown" habit

I have a really hard time with the regular stuff. But, all that said. I feel like I "Get" the job more than any other. I like the ice and fire stages. I like the back n forth of it. Not sure what to do. I love Black Mage, but I am sure groups might hate me. I have no idea how I am doing. I don't want banned so I don't have a dps parse etc.

This honestly speaks to me as someone whose first job was Black Mage. Then, I switched to Red Mage as soon as I could unlock it, and I’ve never looked back. #RezMageLife

Same here. I played BLM exclusively until level 80 and struggled every moment. I really envy black mage pros but red mage is SO FUN. But maybe someday...

Am I the only one who thinks that Black Mage is easier compared to Ninja? At least with Black Mage, you have 2 seconds to think about what to do next. With Ninja, there's no time to think. If you need to figure out your next move, you'll lose all your damage because Ninja is all about burst.

It's like playing a fighter in D&D all you do is damage, all your abilities are to allow you to do more damage or attack more, your optimized damage output is huge, but that makes you lack in versatility

Paradox changed so much for this class. I've been progging UWU as BLM and it sucks! No Xenoglossy, no despair, Foul is a slow cast, no double 30sec sharpcast for perfect uptime on T3 without hardcasting it, and no Paradox! Frost phase is so bad without that spell! But in lvl 90 savage? I feel like there's so much mobility. Two stacks of triplecast, frost phase Paradox being instant, swiftcast, sharpcasted T3, two or three (or four if you're a complete chad) Xenos in a row? Almost as much free movement as a physical ranged. But, uh, yeah. Just never do synced content on it. Use any other job for that. Also RDM's aesthetic is lame, don't @ me.

When you're doing savage content and you get a 99% up time, it is a thrill as BLM. The best thing is to learn the fight as a different job, and once you get the hang of the fight, BLM is super fun. Also learn to macro AM. It is a life saver. Also, I agree that if you get hit because the person you AM to wasn't in the safe spot, that is on them, lol.

as a red mage main i approve of the message that you should just play red mage instead ver-y much i have been trying to find as many ways as i can to put off leveling black mage from 61 to 90 even though that'd mean having all my casters at cap

I like to describe black mage as the monk of endwalker. Nothing's disastrously wrong with it, the core rotation is fine, fun even. Mains of the class will defend it to the death, but the majority of people bounce off it hard and fast. It's the most in need of real quality of life changes and a core class mechanic that isn't defined by things other classes have like managing timers or sitting still to cast. It doesn't need a ground-up rework, but it's way too hard a class to simply play. Not play well, just play at its minimum capabilities. And it really needs some modernization because of it. In contrast, every class that has been modernized usually gets better. They often have growing pains, such as Summoner's bit-too-simple rotation or Monk's fiddliness with timers and how masterful blitz lines up. But at the end of the day, they ended up better, not worse. And it's high time Black Mage got the same love. Since, despite what many would have you think, the change to enochian was barely noticeable.

What's that rod glam ? really like it :) Nice vid tho, BLM is a high risk high reward class, especially in late game content. Very easy class to handle, very hard to master and optimize. You must know each fight to perfection to get appropriate uptime, otherwise you'll drop your dps a lot...
