You got other combat related stuff like eureka and bozja, which are special instances zones, you got the deep dungeon community that runs potd and hoh, people also do blue mage stuff

Blue Mage itself isn't locked, but later actions/skills are obtained by later expansion content, being Blue Mage progression is completely different from the other jobs

I think so? 
Not sure
I think it doesnt
But it scales with magic DPS stat
Same way Holy Spirit scales with strength for Paladin

Otherwise holy spirit wouldn't be used in the rotation

would they add more glamour plates?
warped nest
Probably
Right now, you have just enough glamour plate for all combat jobs that shares gear at max level
4 tanks
3 mages
3 healers
3 ranged dps
2 melee dps
15 plates
Sage will be joining healers
Dragoon and Reaper will form a new group by themselves
So 18 is required for all combat jobs
formal condor
currently it is not convenient for drg and nin though they have eclusive gear set

Yeah

DRG doesn't share anything now, so it technically doesn't need a plate

Yes
warped nest
When reaper is out, you would need two plates

Yup
Alternatively
The gear they use for BiS might be different
As Dragoon wants as little sks as possible
Which currently means no SKS items
Reaper might want some

it's probably not worth it to save every bait you have

keep the mechanical ones as they are usually craftable/more expensive

Also, if someone with high Endgame level 80 gear and someone with max level 50 gear both join a level 50 dungeon, do they have the same stats after the level sync?
minor fulcrum
Your gear syncs down to the max IL
cursive ridge
there is a value that is 'the maximum attribute value on this piece of gear for this ilvl' and it gets applied to current stats on your high level gear

mmm so having better gear does not help you when doing lower level content

smart way to grind mmos and make it 1000x more tolerable, either
a. do multiple things at once, so you are not just focused on one thing
b. put music/podcast on, or browse reddit, or youtube/netfilx, etc, while waiting, having a 2nd monitor makes this very easy, or put it on ur phone/tablet

obsidian patio
You need to keep moving to avoid twister
Without backtracking to a spot you walked on during the cast
So a big circle or a straight line will work
It basically “spawns” under you, and you avoid it by moving
And just make sure not to walk into the tiny green circle until it safely vanishes

How do I get down there?
uneven wedge
so I'm reading a BLM guide and a suggested rotation for 60-70 single target is:
- B3 B4 T3 F3 F4x3 F1 F4x3 repeat
I think I'm missing some context:
- why doesn't this rotation description (and every single other rotation description) mention where to cast Enochian despite it being required to cast some of these steps? I guess because it's not a timed buff and its sufficient to cast it once during opening?
tropic flame
just cast it whenever you can cast it
in this case you can cast it after B3
then do so
uneven wedge
what about sharpcast, surecast, swiftcast? do they have no place in single target rotations or is the guide assuming it's obvious when to use them?
obsidian patio
No
That faq is just the GCD rotation
It doesn’t include the cooldowns for simplicity
elfin edge
How do I get down there?
there's a circular path that leads down there
obsidian patio
Surecast is mainly used to negate upcoming knock backs
Sharpcast is generally used on cooldown to get the proc from thunder 3 or fire 1
And Swiftcast is generally a movement skill or used on flare for AoE
uneven wedge
so with sharpcast, if available during this rotation, I should use it at this point?
B3 B4 [Sharpcast] T3 F3 F4x3 F1 F4x3
alpine shadow
I bought the steam version of the game and followed the steps and it said "trans...
just hit "Enter Registration Code", and it should work anyway
obsidian patio
Yeah if you can do a pre-pull opener then before blizzard 3 is good, if not then after blizzard 4
lethal birch
You've got 15 secs to use the proc, so you ideally want to have sharp go on CD as soon as possible to get your next use asap
Aye
I usually proc sharp as soon as my tank starts running forward to pull in casual stuff
uneven wedge
also, if I'm understanding correctly, Fire I most valuable effect is negation of F3 cost, but why is it listed without Sharpcast in front or mention that you need to cast it repeatedly till you succeed in 40% random check?
I'm assuming that doing F4x3 then F1 then not getting cost negation makes F4x3 F1 F4x3 rotation impossible to complete. So, shouldn't it be F4x3 Sharpcast F1 F4x3? Or at least listed as F4x3 F1x? F4x3
or maybe I missed some high level mechanic or trait that makes the chance for F1 proc 100% without Sharpcast, ensuring rotation always works
lethal birch
Cost negation?
Oh
You use f1 to refresh your umbral fire stage
The firestarter proc you can potentially get is just a bonus
uneven wedge
ahhh, totally mixed F3 and F4, F1 makes F3 free, not F4, and this rotation is about F4 in the end
lethal birch
Yeah
uneven wedge
ok so F1 only role in the tail of this rotation is refreshing the astral fire since F4 doesn't
makes sense!
lethal birch
You generally want to spend your sharp procs on thunder 3 but, firestarter is still fine
Yeye
obsidian patio
In an ideal scenario, Sharpcast is almost always used on Thunder 3.
But that assumes you never need to hold Sharpcast to do so, and doing so won’t overwrite the Thunder 3 dot too early.
And even then the difference between the two procs in damage isn’t major
lethal birch
If you do get a firestarter proc off chance or sharpcast, you usually use it within your umbral fire phase for extra damage, movement or to open a weave window
uneven wedge
Sharp before b3
Am I understanding correctly that it's safe to use Sharpcast when you're not immediately following it with spell you want proc of, if spells inbetween have no procs of their own, like Blizzard 3?
lethal birch
You ideally weave it in a xenoglossy stack or after f3/b3 so you don't clip a gcd
obsidian patio
As long as you cast the spell within those 15 seconds it will work
uneven wedge
So, by duration, you mean that you have 15 seconds to use a spell with an "additional effect" not that it would affect more than one spell, right?
obsidian patio
Correct
lethal birch
You can cast thunder or fire 1 within those 15 seconds, yeah
uneven wedge
Sorry to ask repeatedly about it, the ingame description of sharpcast is just not very clear, with its "spell cast will on its first hit"
lethal birch
It's fine
uneven wedge
Ah, alright, so it's "consumed" by first encountered spell, makes sense!
uneven wedge
Ok, now for most important question! Where can I find a target practice dummy that's close to an aetheryte to put this rotation into practice? 🙂
I remember some in Idyllshire but they were a long way off
lethal birch
That said, your rotation isnt rigid, you can cast thunder within your fire phase to refresh it as long as you don't lose out on eno or f4 casts
Unsure, tbh
I just use my fc house dummy
