10,000 Hours of Black Mage

black mage is the highest damaging class in final fantasy but it's also the most difficult its reputation is so insane that many high-end raiders are too scared to even try it but not me black mage is in my blood it's actually quite a serious medical issue and without me you're not gonna last a second out there buddy but worry not my friend i will teach you everything leveling for a black mage is a rite of passage it tests the limits of the pain you can take because if you can't handle this then you won't survive a sub optimal layer either the pain it breaks you or you simply live with the pain but always remember kids no matter how bad it gets it always gets better at 50 67 now do you think you're ready to level a black mage think again you have to prepare your weak mind and body steal yourselves with passion and further prepare for the hellish quest that lies before you my first class was a black mage and it is true what they say no mobility an awful rotation and worst of all bad damage but every class struggles with something ninjas don't get aoe to level 38. summoners kind of suck till till they get to like 80. i don't know i don't play someone about like a fake mage class [ __ ] somebody and yes black mage might just be the worst class at low levels but you have something that they don't a giant hat and a future a destiny a promise if you will i promise that you will become a god i promise that you will become a being of pure violence oh my have i said too much i mean kinda people keep telling me it gets better at level 50 and then at 60 and then at 70 when will it actually get fun [Music] perhaps the most taxing thing about leveling a black mage is not the gameplay but the constant reminders that 10 levels from now it's gonna be so much better and you know what it does get better like a hangover gets better if you keep drinking now most jobs start out quite simple get a bit more intricate as you can level up before at the high end becoming rather confusing but black mage kind of neglects that middle bit which means you sort of go from oh this is pish-posh this job is simply too easy to some random point in the future where your once unbridled confidence has now turned into huh which can put a lot of people off as they level up but i think the very point of black mage is to welcome that challenge and you'd do well to remember that on your journey face the challenge head on savor that feeling of ignorance because you only get it once i believe in you now go [Music] [Music] hello [Music] and now you can finally enjoy the clash until you drift off to sleep at night and in your hazy nightmare you queue up for a level synced duty look at all of your shiny new abilities now now before you can start using that you have to know your basics enochian this is the beating heart of your class it's a 15 second buff that you have to constantly refresh because if the buff falls off your most potent spells are disabled you do 20 percent less damage and i'm pretty sure you become infertile too yeah i said i think it's in the tooltips well that doesn't sound so hard just refresh the buff oh well you're right the difficulty of a nokian comes with the unexpected oh no you just started a three second cast with four seconds remaining on a nokian and the boss is charging its ass clapper 9000 right at you it would take 2.5 seconds to refresh your nokian but do you have time to finish this cast before the boss kills you or do you just run now and waste all of your burst window what do you do well the answer should be to sacrifice your pride take the dps loss and move out of the mechanic now we can refresh your nokian [Music] and now for my second asscat 9000 oh no we didn't plan for a second one what do we do don't we just move again but then a nokian will surely fall off you imbecile don't you understand all right boys little old pints got some bills to pay and i love money this is your wish chance tell us where the greatest mobile game of all time is i'll tell you i'll tell you have you guys ever heard of raid raid shadow legends yeah maybe i have maybe i ain't who's asking well i just thought fine gentlemen such as yourselves would enjoy building teams of champions to take on challenging bosses such as kul darth the magma dragon and spider hey boss don't you hate spiders and i haven't even started talking about the pvp arena where you can fight other players hey bosh that does sound pretty cool yeah it's my favorite part hey frankie shut up look i'm a busy man i'm always on the job i can't be playing no games well that's the best part you can play it anywhere oh yeah like wish well i'm glad you asked because i'm under contract to tell you my top five places to play raid holy crap number one on the bus number two in the bathroom number three at the movies shh number four walking home number five in the trunk of a car he's gotta be lying no game can be that good and portable next she'll be telling me it's available on pc too it's available on pc too that's it wait wait i can i can give you a free champion [ __ ] it's true i swear just just click the link in the description below or scan the qr code has yet been there the whole time the package is worth 30 you'll get 200k silver an energy refill one xp boost an ancient shard and a free champion aina you'll find your rewards here i know i know i ain't about to let you out of this alive then you leave me no choice i'll have to end the ad wait wait nothing see the only way to truly master a nokian is to master the very fight itself you have to know exactly how much you can get away with more than any other job and that makes you better than them and it's only after you've mastered this that you can truly begin to use ley lines ley lines is the big dick damage cooldown of your class it makes you cast faster of course you have to play fifteen percent faster but also if you step out of this funny little circle then leylines is no longer active and i mean sure you can walk back in but we know what happens to naughty little black mages who walk more than they have to don't we truly the deadliest mr beast challenge because only when it's perfect is when you have the knowledge of when you can sit in a circle for 30 seconds and you do have to plan what you're gonna do your cast times are long your entire burst window can be shut down by just a poorly timed attack it's a lot of pressure the apex of perfection down to every step you take but with the biggest room for failure and you will fail it's the ever-present threat that claims black mage after black mage and no matter how cracked you think you are because of your high pass or mythic boss kill you will fail but when everything comes together it is ecstasy and just like when you fail when you succeed as black mage you are just as responsible and everyone around you knows it [Music] no way he's doing it his damage is so high and every victory you earn is because of your skill and your skill a little uh why would you do that you were gonna die i was helping no no no don't leave me don't leave me you my friend meet the one part of the encounter you can never research or prepare for human error from pulling you out of your ley lines because of mechanics to placing down aoe effects on you or worse inside your leylands and even pulling mobs out of range forcing you to move if there's a black mage in your raid group allow me to send this message on their behalf not that it's any of your business will [ __ ] you and [ __ ] off and leave me to my play lines oh the floor just cracked i believe i might fall black mages tend to have a complicated relationship with their raid group black mage brings absolutely no utility except for big damage you don't bring the rezzes that a red mage can bring or the defensives and mobility of a machinist but being a selfish class is nothing new look at all those reapers and samurais what do they have to offer they do everything you can do but they are easy to play but it's not because they're evil they just simply don't understand your struggle black mage has weaknesses and strengths that no other class has it's a deeply personal experience an inner conflict unique to you and you alone and being the hardest class with such a unique flaw can leave you behind your peers especially since if you're not very good at black mage they'll probably resent you for it who the [ __ ] are you i'm a red mage who a red mage asked laugh all you want but you're wrong you expect everyone to play around you oh healers heal me oh dps stay away from me and i am sick of it playing black mage optimally is a team effort everyone has to do their job and get along bossing people around isn't the way to do it you're the one deciding to play black mage so it's your responsibility and if you're not ready for that maybe you should try 10 000 hours of red mage instead wait no no no that's right [ __ ] this is my show now red mage has everything a simple rotation but it's incredibly fun it's splattering climb the only dps with a heel unlimited instant cast rez's oh your raid members will love you my utility has saved countless raids the damage is lower than black mage but it's still one of the highest in the game and black mage is so difficult it's actually detrimental to the group and because of that it's arguably a bad class i don't mean to tell you what to play but if your goal is to have fun and be successful you don't have to go through all the trouble all the pain and all the anguish of a sub-optimal ley lines when you could simply play a red mage and not summon a [ __ ] summoners [Music] that does sound pretty cool go ahead play whatever you want [Music] what's the point in being the top class if i can't even play it well no one would turn away a good player in favor of a bad player just based on that class nobody would do that so why do i bother i could get good at a different class i could play something easier i fell in love with black mage the day i first saw it but it is the lowest played caster for a reason i guess sometimes you just have to know when to throw in the towel and you have to know when to pick it back up you're back of course i am i am a black mage after all sure it's not the easiest sure you might quit from time to time but as they say failure is not the falling down it's the staying down you might take a break you might switch things up but as long as you keep coming back that's what counts but why why do anything difficult the thrill of accomplishment the joy of overcoming an obstacle and saying i did it i won i have mastered this thing i set out to do because as you prove that you can climb these mountains that you set for yourself you prove to yourself that you're capable that you matter and that maybe next time you think to yourself i can do this it's worth listening to and that my friend makes this world a much less scary place whether it takes ten hours or ten thousand that is what it means to be a black mage what's up my little gobbly goos i'm gonna be playing shadowbringers on twitch so if you're interested follow me there also i won't cry i don't

I always think I’m a good editor and then Pint uploads a video with butter smooth transitions, custom animations and sprites. With this much quality it’s little wonder that he uploads only every now and then.

[u/Gilthu]

Red mages even steal the spotlight in other class videos. Hell yeah!

[u/JimJanDeRino]

Those TRANSITIONS, man! God tier content.

[u/AviliaMusic]

His editing is incredible wow

[u/Tom-Pendragon]

Still can't believe how amazing his editing skills are.

[u/ghosttowns42]

I'm trying to pick my level 80 BLM again and riding the ENTIRE struggle bus trying to find my groove.... this is such good encouragement at such a good time. Also S tier editing, as always!!

[u/Ranger-New]

Explosions.

[u/trowgundam]

I love Pint's videos. Found them through Asmongold watching their WoW videos (also really good and even if you don't like WoW I urge you to watch them anyways, they are very entertaining). I've loved seeing their FF journey through their stream and now 2 videos. I can't wait to see them start ShB.

[u/teoweald]

Wtf is this editing instant sub
