I completely disagreed with this list. Bible black is number 6?! C’mon bro, that’s just disrespectful.

Other pro tip for Paladins:
Glam your shield to the Fortemps shield.
It comes with a passive to make other players crying.

[ruikirisame]

as a paladin main, there's no worse feeling than having the boss become untargatable just as you press fight or flight. you just have to sit there, sizzling in the fire of your own rage because this is your life now

So the eyepatch is basically a holdover from the voidmages, rather than the original black mages. The purpose was to narrow their field of view to reduce the chances of accidentally making eye contact with voidsent and thus avoid being charmed via magic. This is also what the wide hat brim is for, so that a simple head tilt could remove their eyeline from sight easily.

Sorry, you said the word lore, I couldn't help myself it just burst out of me.

Kou: "Sword and Shield is boring and looks lame!"

Jocrap: **Kicks down his door, wiggler head jiggling** "I just wanna talk to him..." **Pulls out sword and shield** "I JUST wanna talk to him!" **Violence ensues** "I JUST WANNA TALK TO HIM!!"

"I hate doing anything that requires more than breathing." Based, seen, real, and valid. Amen.

[dagothdumbass]

My black mage leveling experience was something like:
"Hey... this is really boring"
Gets fire/blizzard III
"Oh hey, it's more dynamic, pretty fun"
Gets flare
"OOOH BOY, now things go boom"
FIRE IV
EXPLOSION GO BRRR"
TRIPLECAST AND POLYGLOT STUFF
"I AM A GOD OF MURDER AND DESTRUCTION"

[Atamusk]

Trolling your Monk by hitting them with the attack speed card was great. It cut their GCD down so hard they'd run out of TP and couldn't do weaponskills.

[SuperLouis]

As an AST main i can confirm thinking is hard and I hate doing it

[Healera]

"How many times have you seen a cool person armed with a sword AND shield?"
Link. That's all you need.

[dresamae]

Bard definitely only has like 3 rng pools to pick from. Any real bard main knows it, subconsciously if not fully aware.
My fingers know before my brain does which rng pool I'm in and I'm already pressing the proc right as it comes up every time without realizing because it really doesn't change that often lol. Bard is the only physrange job that needs a braincell to play optimally. With dnc and mch, you don't have to worry about where to drift your songs for perfect song uptime and to still have party buffs and burst line up properly. And yes, in Abyssos, you do need to drift songs to keep uptime.

Black mages have eye patches and big hats and stuff because they used it to prevent/limit the hold voidsent had/could get on them back when black mages were summoning and dealing with voidsent

[Killerblade-ygwz]

As a SCH main I remember when they took Energy Drain from us I left it on my bar out of spite, but then it really did return! keep the Kaiten vigil strong SAM mains this SCH will have your back no matter how many aoes you step in.

[FeyRanger]

Legit tip I wish more people knew as a Bard, if you pay attention to your song's duration you can predict when to use iron jaws to reproc your dots without having to keep track of 3 timers you only have to keep track of the one since all of them are 45 seconds, just make sure when you use the song you either iron jaws and weave your song in or do the reverse.

[iamdesu]

I literally play only 5 jobs and all those jobs are listed here... I agree

[rubencarasa]

Im just glad all classes are balanced enough and viable compared to other mmos

[AliciaYPhoenix]

I was astro main for a long time. I had the honor of playing while the cards were all unique and I loved it. Thinking IS enjoyable to me. All the card combos and every time I had the aoe boosted bole or spear I felt so happy. Then they changed it. No more fun combos... Then they took Nocturnal Sect away... the way I had managed to solo Ifrit extreme to get my first ever horse at 60... they took away the class I loved. So while I maxed it. It pains me to play it.
Edit: I'm just editing to say. Wow, I'm in pain because I miss the pain. Ironic...

[williamnolen]

I didn't try astro before the card system was redesigned but I love playing it nowadays. I love being a healer and secondary love for support buff kind of roles in other games. Astro just feels natural to me that I get to heal, buff my party, and do damage myself.

[sunlightFrequency]

I miss Kaiten because of the cool animation that looked like it flowed seamlessly into every other attack. Rest in peace 😔

Blackmages fun starts at level 60 when you get fire IV. It definately is not great if you are learning fights, but if you know the fights and timing for bosses Blackmage feels damn good when you get it right.
