==Rotations==
===Single Target===
[[Thunder II]] -> [[Fire III]] -> [[Fire]] (until under 1000 [[MP]]) -> [[Blizzard III]]
 
*[[Thundercloud]] procs should be cast immediately and should always be [[Thunder III]].
 
*[[Firestarter]] proc should be cast immediately, unless you're entering Umbra phase, in which case you should use your normal filler spell (usually Thunder II) until full MP, then use your Firestarter proc.
====Tips and Tricks====
Always be casting. While there are some times when interrupting your casting is necessary, some players cancel a casting in order to cast a proc'd ability. Cancelling spells already in progress is always DPS loss and should be avoided unless you need to move and avoid damage.
 
The normal Black Mage rotation consist of 4 castings of Fire before you drop below the amount of MP needed to cast both Blizzard III and Thunder II. Any further casting of Fire after the fourth will result in an insufficient amount of MP to get through an Umbral phase uninterrupted.
 
In presence of [[Scholars]] or by using [[Food]] or [[Materia]], it is possible to raise your [[Piety]] to 251 or higher. It gives you enough MP to cast 5 Fire spells and continue your rotation without pause. It results in a 2.5% increase in DPS.
 
===Multiple Targets (AoE)===
