Black Mage wearing Artifact Armor
Black Mage wearing Artifact Armor

Lore

"In days long past, there existed an evil clan and arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin.
Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will." — Game Description

General Information

Black Mage is a job that specializes in devastating their enemies through the use of black magic. Black Mage evolves from the class thaumaturge. Using staves and scepters, Black Mages are ranged damage dealers with powerful AoE spells and crowd controls. They have all the abilities and traits of Thaumaturges. The most important stat for the black mage is intelligence, which increases attack magic potency. The level of your Black Mage is equivalent to that of your Thaumaturge.

Elemental Gauge

Elemental gauge pve1.png

The Elemental Gauge indicates whether you are under the influence of Astral Fire (after casting a Fire spell) or Umbral Ice (after casting a Blizzard spell). While under the influence of Astral Fire, all Fire spells will have increased potency, but require more MP to cast. While under the influence of Umbral Ice, all Blizzard spells will have no cost, and will recover MP upon striking a target. Furthermore, when maintaining stacks of Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, a spell of the opposite element can be cast at no cost but will deal reduced damage.

Elemental gauge pve8.png The action Umbral Soul.png  Umbral Soul (acquired at level 35) halts the expiration of Umbral Ice. Reapplying this effect, or casting a spell of the opposite element, will cause its expiration to resume.
Elemental gauge pve2.png Coming under the influence of Astral Fire or Umbral Ice will grant Enochian.png  Enochian, and set the lower-right corner of the gauge aglow, indicating its effect is active. Enochian increases the potency of magic attacks, as well as unlocks powerful spells such as Blizzard IV.png  Blizzard IV. Enochian fades when Astral Fire or Umbral Ice expires.
Elemental gauge pve3.png Casting Freeze.png  Freeze or Blizzard IV.png  Blizzard IV grants 3 Umbral Hearts which are represented by the arrows in the gauge's lower-left corner. An Umbral Heart is consumed each time a Fire spell is cast, nullifying the MP cost increase applied by the Astral Fire status.
Elemental gauge pve4.png The Enochian bar will fill every 30 seconds the status is maintained. When the crystal at the bottom of the Elemental Gauge glows pink, you will be under effect of Polyglot, which allows the spells Foul.png  Foul and Xenoglossy.png  Xenoglossy (acquired at level 80) to be cast, consuming a crystal.
Elemental gauge pve5.png Upon learning the trait Enhanced Polyglot.png  Enhanced Polyglot, you will be able to stack a second Polyglot.
Elemental gauge pve6.png Upon learning the trait Aspect Mastery V.png  Aspect Mastery V, the Paradox Gauge will be displayed. If your element switches to the opposite element when under the effects of either Astral Fire or Umbral Ice and in possession of the maximum number of Umbral Hearts, the left side of the Paradox Gauge will light up. You will then be able to use Paradox.png  Paradox.
Elemental gauge pve7.png Upon learning the trait Enhanced Polyglot II.png  Enhanced Polyglot II, you will be able to stack a third Polyglot.

Endgame Rotations

Opener:

Sharpcast icon1.png --> Quelling strikes.png --> Ley lines icon1.png --> Fire.png --> Enochian icon1.png --> Raging strikes.png --> Fire iii.png --> Draconian potion of intelligence icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire.png --> Swiftcast.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Convert.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Blizzard iii.png --> Thunder icon1.png --> Blizzard iv icon1.png

Rotation (while under Enochian):

Fire iii.png (or Firestarter.png if proc’d) --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Blizzard iii.png --> Thunder icon1.png (or Thunder iii.png if Thundercloud.png procd) --> Blizzard iv icon1.png

Note:

I am able to get the six Fire IV in with around 840 Spell Speed/Full Prototype Midan gear. If you are having trouble, start off with two Fire IVs, not three, and work your way up to three in a row. Even with high spell speed, I can just barely get off Blizzard IV before Enochian drops. Remember in boss fights to do what you can to keep Enochian up!
