You don't have to worry about killing them, you can render them useless with minimal effort while focusing your attack elsewhere.

But basically all you're saying is that almost any class can easily nullify the BLM, which I agree with.

Nope, I disagree :) We'll see how it really is in a couple hours though, won't we :)

Yeah that would be great. Except, when the hell will I have the time to build to Astral Fire 3 without burning all my cds and using swift cast allready?

Your telling me the BLM will not have stoneskin, surecast, and swift cast. I just think BLM's try to find a reason to scream foul!!

OK, so maybe you get lucky and the MNK still has his stun on CD and Bliz2 or Freeze him before he gets to you...and the DRG has three Jumps to interrupt you and a fourth to close the gap before smacking you around...

But you can at least prep for a WAR or PLD coming for you...right? Wait...maybe not WAR with Holmgang off CD...OK, so you can stop PLD...maybe?

Wait...all those effects break if the target takes damage...OK, just Flare and hope for the best

Sorry, but that warrior isn't even going to be in range to attack before the blm gets the spell off if they can play at least semi decently. I'm not talking about the ones who only know how to grind fates spamming bliz 2 but the ones that actually know how to play their class.

Yeah, ok maybe. Oh wait Line of sight, homegang, remove debuff by self or whm, tank party buff, shoulder tackle, ect... yeah sounds great. I might just do this rather than sticking a pen in my eye.
