I would be inclined to agree with Flyinghippress myself. Yes, mp cost/use can be a bit frustrating at times but BLM didn't just receive nukes. They also received their own DoT's (which as Flying touched on) are much more potent now that level cap has gone up. Considering level cap is going to go up more, so will the dmg on these enfeebs. I love what BLM can do in Abyssea and I still love the fact that BLM isn't as awesome outside it. This allows for learning different ways to control your job.
For those of you who have at least played since 2004 like I have I think you'd agree with me, whether reluctantly or not, when I say BLM itself has come a long long way! All jobs really have and the mechanics of the game have changed drastically. Personally I'm pretty happy with BLM and have always enjoyed the ability to separate myself from the crappy BLM's because I know how to efficiently utilize spells at the right times and deliver good magical blows where necessary without crapping myself out of mp. BLM has always been a job in my mind where you could show how good you were by being able to properly manage your mp and rest time. Let's keep it that way instead of just letting any noob run around the game and throw nukes around.
