BLM at higher lvls

[Alatar]

I am hearing from importers that Black Mages at high lvls are having troubles finding groups because red mages are becoming preferred. Also are black mages fun are high lvls? I was thinking about being a BLM/WHM but might try WHM/BLM or maybe RDM/WHM.

as for me, black mages and white mages are at par about fun factor. I do enjoy both jobs and black mages are a bit less sleepy to play. a good part is as black mages you don't really carrying a great deal of responsibilities... unlike WHM where all your friends' life are in your hand.

at higher levels blm is always nice to have. a party setup of different mages will have different advantage above other. I myself quite prefer BLM over WHM. I don't really feel I need WHM so much except for raise 2.

let's say everyone want's BRD+RDM... and save 1 more space for either BLM or WHM...
- you pick WHM, you get some nice healing power, an easier time teleporting to your hunting spot (if you need to) and a raise 2 incase someone die
- picking BLM means twice killing power and a very very convenient dezone2 to sent everyone back to town at the end of the party.

for a party with a lot of fire power but lack defensive skills, WHM will do great. Example would be a group of THF+RNG... they definitely need some good healing.

Ok cool thx Jei. I'll stick with BLM/WHM depending on number of white mages i might switch them around just to help the general community more. I like the White Mage AF better But oh well.
