Black Mage Job Spells are disappointing.

Needless to say this is not what happened.

It was a bit of a letdown when I think of the other Jobs. Now I'm not 100% sure what happens when you unlock other jobs, but compared to Summoner at least, the "cool factor" just doesn't compare. Where's the thing my BLM can bust out so everyone KNOWS they're dealing with a BLM here, and not just some chump THM? When I see a Bard sing, a Summoner's Ifrit or Titan, or even a Scholar's Fairy, I KNOW they have their jobs unlocked, and they look and feel nifty. How come I can't cast an awesome BLM spell so that everyone KNOWS I'm a freaking BLM, and I'm not to be trifled with?!?!

The transition from Arcanists to Summoner isn't as epic as you think. It goes from being able to summon carbuncle to being able to summon a pokemon version of the Primals. The main spells are still poison DoTs which to this day I can't figure how Summoner ended up with them in their base class. Its not until level 60 that we move towards more of an Evoker where we invoke the power of Bahamut and gain Deathflare.
