I tried to get back into Blm

And it failed, the class is just too stressful with eno, I hate it soo much cause it makes the class less fun dealing with it :(

Isn't BLM still kinda braindead? I mean, Spam F4, cast F1 at 3-4 secs depending on spell speed and timing, B3, B4, T2( or was it 1?) F3, repeat from beginning.

Its the added moving for mechanics thats frustrating on Blm, I have to stop a cast to move and at those times eno drops making me have to wait for 45s for it to come back loseing 30% of my dmg.

Managing buffs is something Yoshida specifically mentioned as needing to be trimmed (when they make jobs easier to play for the next expansion.) I personally really like what HW did to blm and you learn to manage timing your spells around moving the more you play and gain experience. Throw swiftcast in whenever you need to push a spell out quickly before a buff expires.

It's not particularly hard - on a dummy. In a real fight? It can be quite annoying. It's like playing a Monk where missing a positional in the Opo-Opo, Raptor, Coeurl sequence causes Greased Lightning to not refresh.

3.4 feels like the most BLM friendly patch of HW so far. Boss jumps feel shorter and less frequent, random giant lava pools aren't thrown at you every time you pop Ley Lines, and when you do have to move it's not as far as it has been.

If you're having trouble with movements, just clip your eno rotation. Transpose to UI and swiftcast a blizz 4. It's better to lose dps for 2 rotations than have to wait 30+ seconds for eno to come off cd.

best to save thunder-proc's and swiftcast if you have to move
I also don't use swiftcast in the first rotation only the second rotation because the chain is shorter, by the time your have complted both rotation cycles Enc should be fully refreshed, ley lines also second rotation only.
My fire XIV recored is 16k per fire 4

Sophia Ex as a BLM is hell.

This is actually a factor in why I have accepted that I will only ever be super casual here. BLM, the class I chose in 2.0, got pretty stressful at end level Heavensward. Many of the dps classes are stressful to me, something about how the rotations are long, complicated and require precision. It doesn't sit right with me for whatever reason.

It's odd because in World of WarCraft I am part of a high end Mythic raiding guild and Mythics are by no means easy... But playing that game doesn't agitate me anywhere near as much.
