Pictomancer Skills and Abilities Guide

Magic Combos

Basic Combo
Fire in Red Icon Fire in Red Aero in Green Icon Aero in Green Water in Blue Icon Water in Blue

Pictomancer's basic combo is a three-stage color magic combo of Fire in Red → Aero in Green → Water in Blue. You can link color magic combos simply by tapping the spell button repeatedly. Casting these spells will grant you a stack of White Paint, and finishing this combo will fill up your Palette Gauge.

Using Tier 2 AoE Spell Combos

Basic AoE Combo
Fire II in Red Icon Fire II in Red Aero II in Green Icon Aero II in Green Water II in Blue Icon Water II in Blue

In AoE situations with multiple enemies, use the Ranged magic combo shown above. These spells gain more power when casted against multiple enemies. Same with the basic magic combo, casting these spells will grant you a stack of White Paint, and finishing this combo with Water in Blue or Water II in Blue will fill up your Palette Gauge by 25.

Tempera Coat

Tempera Coat Icon Tempera Coat Tempera Grassa Icon Tempera Grassa

Pictomancers can also cast their own shield, Tempera Coat, that lasts for 10 seconds on them. Breaking this shield will lower the cooldown of Tempera Coat by 60 seconds. At level 88, you can use Tempera Grassa, which is an AoE shield that can be used on your allies. If your own shield breaks under Tempera Grassa, the cooldown will only be reduced by 30 seconds.

Palette Gauge

FFXIV - Palette Gauge

The Palette Gauge shows the number of White or Black Paint accumulated by the Pictomancer at a glance. The White Paint accumulated from casting your spells allows you to cast Holy in White. Once your gauge reaches 50%, you can cast Subtractive Palette and allows you to use the enhanced spells as well as Comet in Black.

Spells Casted with White or Black Paint

Holy in White Icon Holy in White Comet in Black Icon Comet in Black

The stacks of White Paint, or Black Paint under Subtractive Palette, allows you to cast Holy in White or Comet in Black. These are unaspected instant casts that can only be used with White or Black paint, respectively.

Subtractive Palette

Subtractive Palette Icon Subtractive Palette

The skill, Subtractive Palette, can grant Monochromatic Tones, which transforms White Paint to Black Paint. Black Paint enhances your color magic, and transforms your basic spells to enhanced versions of these spells. After casting Subtractive Palette, these enhanced color magic spells will take longer to cast but are stronger than your usual Red-Green-Blue spells.

Canvas, Motif, and Muse

FFXIV-Canvases Edited

The Pictomancer has the ability to paint three different Motifs on canvases: Creature Motif, Weapon Motif and Landscape Motif, each with their own effects. Each Motif can be casted outside of combat instantly, but takes 3 seconds to cast in combat.

Motif Kinds Muse
Creature Motif Icon Creature Motif Pom Motif Icon Pom Motif
Wing Motif Icon Wing Motif

Using a Motif's corresponding Muse will render the Motif to life, dealing damage and storing the Muse in the canvas.

Creature Motif Rendering

Mog of the Ages Rendering
Pom Motif Icon Pom Motif Pom Muse Icon Pom Muse Mog of the Ages Icon Mog of the Ages
Wing Motif Icon Wing Motif Winged Muse Icon Winged Muse

Your first Creature Motif will always be a Pom Motif. Once ready, you can use Pom Muse which deals damage and stores it into the Canvas. Afterwards, your next Motif is a Wing Motif. Similarly, you can use Winged Muse once Wing Motif is ready, and it will render a Moogle on top of your Canvas. This Moogle will allow you to cast Mog of the Ages, a Line Cleave attack that deals a lot of damage. Using Mog of the Ages will also reset your Canvas and allow you to redo rendering.

Retribution of the Madeen Rendering
Pom Motif Icon Pom Motif Pom Muse Icon Pom Muse Retribution of the Madeen Icon Retribution of the Madeen
Wing Motif Icon Wing Motif Winged Muse Icon Winged Muse
Claw Motif Icon Claw Motif Clawed Muse Icon Clawed Muse

When you consecutively cast Pom, Wing, Claw and Maw, and their respective Muses, a Madeen will be rendered and will be added on top of your Canvas, allowing you to use Retribution of the Madeen, which is an upgraded Line Cleave attack to Mog of the Ages.

Weapon Motif Rendering

Hammer Motif Combo
Hammer Stamp Icon Hammer Stamp Polishing Hammer Icon Polishing Hammer Hammer Brush Icon Hammer Brush

Using Striking Muse on a Hammer Motif gives you 3 stacks of Hammer Time which allows you to utilize the skill, Hammer Stamp listed above. Hammer Stamp is an AoE, Ranged hit that always crits. Levelling up to Level 86, you gain access to Polishing Hammer and Hammer Brush, which are also AoE, Rangeed hits that guarantees crits.

Landscape Motif Rendering

Using Starry Muse on the Starry Sky Motif grants you a 5% damage buff to you and all your allies nearby for 20 seconds. You will also receive the passive, Subtractive Spectrum, which allows the Pictomancer to cast Subtractive Palette without using the Palette Gauge stacks. Once you reach level 92, you'll have access to Rainbow Drip, which deals damage and grants you one stack of White Paint. At Level 100, you will unlock Star Prism, which can be used after Starry Muse. Star Prism is an AoE spell that hits hard and heals you and your allies around you.
