Since the Fire 3 is cast instantly rather than just very quickly, it'll refresh the buff slightly earlier in the GCD.

I think of Fire 3 as an opener or 'proc go boom' I'm sure if I raided I'd think about it more, but for most content I'm happy

Ice 3 is my opener most of the time, letting me fire off a Thunder 3 and then the free Fire 3 , giving me a full mana bar of Fire 1s and (if the UI refilled me to full between the Thunder and the Fire) enough MP for another Thunder if I don't get any Thunderstorm procs. I rarely get into high enough content on BLM that I even have IVs available yet. It's a good enough rotation for MSQ content, and half the time I forget I have Ley Lines, too.

It does when you’re standing in your Lay Lines and using literally all your instant cast skills. That’s why it’s the opener. The normal rotation is Ice 3, Sharpcast, Ice 4, Xeno, Paradox, Thunder 3, Fire 3, Fire 4 x3, Paradox, Fire 4 x3, Despair, and then rinse and repeat.

There’s no reason to mess with openers at this level. You can substitute the Despairs with Flares and Xenoglossies with Fouls if you really want to but there’s not much point. Especially since Foul isn’t instacast until 80.

Note that this level of optimization is almost purely academic. Even in current Savage raids, you're better off saving your brainpower for positioning and timing of instant casts/leylines, so you can keep uptime (and stay within range of healing) while dodging everything that you need to.

I mean the opener totally is but the base rotation isn’t. You want to go through the GCDs and use your Sharpcasts in that order.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71jraTSr_44 merry starlight, can anyone figure out the lyrics to the second bit of the first line of this song? ffwiki says this is from the liner notes of the ShB soundtrack: Come ye children mild and merry, starlight is arrived (oh) Lo! Our spirits starward carried, joyous and bright (oh) Ah ah! Heavenly laughter Ah ah! Happiness everlasting Hark! O ye tender hearts and smile, smile, smile to me it all lines up except "starilght is arrived", which sounds nothing like whatever they actually sing

During P4S prog, I managed to refine my SMN rotation to the point where I consistently spent the very last two casts in my cycle on Ifrit dashing right as I needed to bait a proximity attack. Stopped doing it though, because it's easier to just use an instant cast and walk there, but it felt very cool at the time.

Steelion posted:Now now, casting ruin 3 once per minute is totally normal That reminds me of all the doom and gloom at the EW Media Tour announcements around how the SMN changes meant you'd be spamming almost entirely just two buttons through the majority of a fight. In reality, while the total number of buttons went down, a lot of those were only hit once every 60 or more seconds, so the number of different actions you were hitting in a one minute window actually went up. The changes still led to a vastly simpler Job which isn't perfect, especially for those that liked the old SMN, but it's still a reminder that first impressions based off reading tooltips and footage from people that were strictly time limited on what they could do isn't exactly ironclad.

Is this “Santa” otherwise engaged? I was given to understand he was your protector. If you truly believe him your guardian, why do you not repeat the trick that served you so well at 34th Street, and call him down? He will answer, so long as you lavish him with tinsel and gorge him on cookies. Your avatars are no different from those of the grinches─marketing every one. Accept but this, and you will see how Eorzea's Christmas spirit is bleeding the land dry.

I think all jobs should be substantially feature complete at 50. We'd have to argue what that means for each job but every time I do something sub 60 leveling the BLM it just sucks. As I've said I feel like the 50 BLM is far from representing the true job play style. And it's definitely not the only job like that - GNB without the bullet combo, DRK without TBN or blood meter, DNC without Dance Partner...

And it's definitely not the only job like that - GNB without the bullet combo, DRK without TBN or blood meter, DNC without Dance Partner... I won't comment on PLD being boring as poo poo at 50 since it's getting reworked in a few weeks. DNC and BLM you've touched on, RPR feels like it should have its kit moved down ten levels (ie you get Soul Slice at 50 and Gibbet/Gallows at 60 instead of 60 and 70 respectively, and also Plentiful Harvest and Arcane Circle at 70 instead of freaking 88 - just give it the Shroud Gauge effect at 88), and Dragoon not having its full combo when synched down makes it agony to play for someone used to the full job kit. I'd also say that White Mage needs something too - Sage and Scholar both get up to three charges of their oGCD heal by 50 and Astro has a lightning-fast 45 second oGCD at literally all times, while WHM only gets Benediction - which is on a whopping 180 second cooldown. I'm of the firm opinion that Freecure should be turned into a 400-500 potency oGCD heal that you get at level 15, which upgrades into Tetragrammaton at 60.
