Anyone notice that the astral fire timer is gone and the cast time of fire 4 is now shorter than its recast

That’s a massive difficulty nerf for BLM

They have been using the classic WHM red-and-white colour scheme as generic healer colour scheme all along, though I'm trying to think if there's anything quite so blatantly WHM-styled.

Meanwhile, everyone else seems to be stealing what should be perfect RDM gear. First the Rinascita DPS design, then healers in Yuweyawata, now the ranged tome gear is taunting us.

Wow.

Does someone just used weaponry at distance to specifically attack the WoL instead of vainly trying to defeat them in a fight ?

Are we going to get the most intelligent (or least moronic) antagonist to date ?

Booooooooooo.

Square, I like that BLM was the long cast time job, don't ruin that identity.

7.0 ruined BLM anyway, but still, don't ruin it further.

They've always had them WHM-coded for lack of a better term, but they never used the red triangle strips outside of AF gear from memory. This is as blatant as it's been.

And as a RDM, yeah it hurts seeing everyone get better feathered caps than us.

Aha, found the URLs for the tome gear, though they'll probably stop working in a day or two.

Huh, yet another nuking other jobs rather than just nerfing the 1 outlier, the great stupidly of "balancing" in CBU3 strikes again!

I have to leave soon for work, but so far it seems neat
I'll have to give everything a closer watch when I'm available to but that gear is nice
Is it confirmed to be the tomestone gear? We are getting a new dungeon, I believe, so I thought it would be from there

They have already stated that that they are nerfing Pictomancer, assuming that is the job you mean.

According to unofficial translations from the Reddit discord, they are the tome gear sets.

Don't forget to call them "Left Swing" and "Not Left Swing" because samey names to f with players on a kindergarten level are also part of the PvE (TM) Mechanics (C).
