need more threat drop, quelling not enough

One odd thing about BLM is that we have no real innate offensive CDs. Raging+Quelling are awesome but from archer, arcanist skills are purely defensive, swiftcast is useful but not really in terms of a timer aside from aoe double flare with convert due to GCDs. Every single BLM CD is defensive and all major offensive tools are RNG based.

10-23-2013, 03:43 AMShadowzanonI have to agree with this. The more i improve my gear it becomes extremely hard to play with tanks who are still gearing up. i either have to hold back big time (sometimes that doesnt even help) or do things that will allow the tanks to gain enough aggro to probably end a boss fight. I tell other dps to focus on the boss as i solo adds in my wp and ak runs when i am with a tank who does not have their relic. few relic tanks can even hold aggro even after quelling strikes if i end up with a crit spree and once again i have to resort on doing anything to buy tanks time. Heck some tanks on my server refuse to let me join their runs because its such a pain and i can only imagine it being worst for black mages who have it worse than me. Either lower the cd on quelling strikes or give us an ability that can lower our threat somewhat that can go hand in hand with archers quelling strikes.Quote:

Maybe community team specialy ignore players thoughts about monk? What else should I think about this silence? -
10-23-2013, 03:52 AMAllyrionYou should think monks are working as intended?Quote:

This is standard practice. Those forums are not for feedback, but to discuss the class with other players.
They are read by the CM's but they are not replied to. Not sure if this is policy, but any other MMO I've played it usually is. -
10-23-2013, 04:08 AMOnyxysNo matter where thread is. Second-link-thread has 390 replies from players- this meens, that problems of monk's balanse and monk's skills realy worry players but NO ANY COMMENT from community team. Now look in this thread- just 80 replies and community worker is here. Why it is so? Ignoring of monk's thread I see. It is trueQuote:

Personally using Astral Fire III, Raging Strikes, Swiftcast, Flare > transpose + Convert (brings mp back to full after casting Thunder II/III and starting Fire III to continue rotation) Is fine by me. I love seeing myself hitting 1800-1900 damage on enemies, especially when i can nearly one-shot Garuda's adds. I see nothing wrong with Flare other than the inconvenience of using it properly.
As for Freeze, i would love a potent aoe bind or stun. A move i would love to see is an aoe around the player that simply pushes mobs back 2-3 feet and stuns them for a few seconds, or a single-target enmity reducer. Freeze itself is just bad.
Apoctostatis i think should be a less powerful version of manawall/manaward to place on a party member, or atleast make the original buff last the usual 30 minutes.
Although a magic-defence reducing spell would be awesome :P -
10-23-2013, 04:16 AMAllyrionHow many of those replies are people defending monks? The reply count isn't the same as how many people agree with it.Quote:

I mean, I could easily look at "Likes" instead. This OP has 26. The monk threads has 6 and 4 respectively. That's hardly convincing.
