FFXIV TOP BLM POV - [Kindred] 1st Stream Team Clear

Log: https://www.fflogs.com/reports/L6qYp8...

World 6th (according to FFLogs) and 1st stream team to clear.

What a fight to prog. From starting out on RDM, to changing to SMN for more damage, to finally settling on BLM for even more damage, I once again feel blessed to have the opportunity to whip out every caster job for a world race. Although my BLM was shaky for the first couple of hours of swapping to it, after getting comfortable on P1 I'd say that the swap was a good choice. The consistent damage profile of BLM allowed for more ease in some of the tougher DPS checks for 2 minute comps, namely in P4 which it will perform over other classes the most if your group decides to use 2 minute cooldowns at the end of P3.

This fight on BLM proved to me once again that proper planning of resources in and out of a pull can let a BLM flourish in any setting, even in a world prog setting. The combination of phases with longer periods of uptime (2-4 min) and phases with many segments of shorter uptime (30-60 sec) allowed for a nice variety of phase timings that made the fight interesting to plan out. Although my P6 was far from clean, I'd say that I'm overall fairly happy with my general performance rotation-wise.

Once again, although my rotation is far from optimal, I believe the majority of the decisions I make (especially in the longer uptime segments) are ideal with prog in mind and I try to emphasize staying flexible and versatile with my rotation choices when needed. I plan on doing a stream where I review my gameplay and talk through my rotation and thought process in more detail, and perhaps entertain more optimized options.

My only regret this pull is that I did not joelcast.
