I find Black Mages leveling experience as absolutely painful and I am sure I am not the only one who shares this opinion up to level 50. It doesn't lack in power, it hits pretty hard, however, what gets me is that you are constantly switching buttons depending on which part of the game you are playing. This is chaotic because what happens is you go do your dailies etc and you get the lowest dungeon possible but you do not have fire on your hotbar anymore because at higher levels you don't need it. This causes no end of stress. Like Transpose we don't use that once we get higher skills, it is a wasted button like Scathe. This is how it has been for a very long time - get to a certain level and change your rotation completely. Black Mage isn't the only job this happens to, but it happens much more on them.I am hoping they fix the problem of having to switch my key bar every time I do a lower dungeon. I want them to make it hard to master not hard to play. Black Mage is one of the starter classes in the game and should be easy to access, but not be boring. Hopefully in Evercold they will fix this. Spells which you learn at lower levels shouldn't become obsolete at higher levels but should have traits that upgrade them into better spells.
