Where is the BLM nerf?

Buffed PGL/MNK and LNC/DRG? Good to hear, but how can you nerf ARC/BRD and leave THM/BLM untouched?

They're working as intended :3

It was collusion god dammit. They didnt need a nerf theyre performing at a regular rate. They were just being exploited by warriors collusion.

They're a high risk high reward type of job, they're supposed to be really good.

BLM is easy-mode, of course no one will want it changed.

What exactly could they do to nerf it and keep it viable at the same time? Nothing. Who asks for nerfs anyway? Job stacking is going to happen no matter what. They nerf one job, the community stacks another.

nerf what? the one spell line that blm has? the enfeebles that suck? take away mp rgain and bring them back to Tanaka day where once they ran out of mp they couldnt do anything?

... Nerf what? The only spell that's useful, and it's only useful because there's no bosses that have a high Resistance to lightning? I swear most people who say Blm is too powerful are so short-sighted, just wait till bosses such as titan and Ramuh show up and see if anyone stacks blm/thm.

Archer's nerfed? I didn't notice a thing lol, seriously did you complain without even testing it for yourself?

When executing WS as Archer/Bard, the recast timer for Shot will become active.

That's a nerf any way you want to look at it. It's nothing huge, but it's a nerf nonetheless.

Damage or recast time or MP or whatever. It's not balanced. Doing something to it won't keep it from being "viable".

BLM is not an enfeebling job, it's a damage dealer. It's not a bad job if it can't debuff the enemy.

BLM doesn't need a nerf. If anything related to BLM that needs to be revised or at least looked over would be monsters/enemies elemental resistances/evasion.

Has anyone actually played Archer/Bard since the "nerf?" It's completely a non-issue. By the time your weaponskill animation is done, your lightshot is ready to go again.

It's not a nerf. In fact, it doesn't really change anything.

...Are you high?

umm ya it will. cut down the only thing it does make the job usless. Brd can dd and support. Blm can only DD cutting its damage from its already extremely limited spell casting. Then by right Brd shouldnt be able to DD at all it should only Support by your logic.

Alas. I won't lie though, when we get Musketeer and we start going through the nerf/buff cycle, I'm gonna be screaming bloody murder.

But quietly. In my head. And then I'll test out the changes and decide on my own whether I find it a big change. Sorta like what I did with Bard, and what everyone should do instead of panicking on the forums.

They should honestly just take Black Mage out, and things would be perfect in Eorzea.


Sadly that won't happen ;-;

BLM got a nerf when they introduced spell interruption on movement a few patches ago. This BRD/ARC nerf is pretty much in the same ballpark of significance... a minor almost negligible annoyance.

They should've added a three second animation lock on casting spells, that would be the same ballpark as the BS ARC/BRD gets.

Yes, I'm joking. It sucks and I wouldn't wish it upon any of the classes Yes, it's not really the same ballpark, either.

This thread gave me cancer

Can you stop talking now. Black mage is already bad enough being thunder only.

Any nerf to thunder line will kill blm/thm.

@Lina stop trolling too.

"...Are you high?" and "Can you stop talking now." offer nothing of value to this thread. Stay out of my thread.

Your asking for a nerf on an already badly nerfed class.

Atleast I gave you option of being high and not being able to think clearly, than this being a complete moron knowing full well what you are asking.

An you opting to being a full blown moron.

there is an animation lock as the spell starts and goes off.

and once again Blm can only DD. While brd can DD and Support. so guess what.......

And ARC isn't a support job. And THM can do more than DD.

Arc is a support/DD.

Blm is DD only, it can't do anything else.

Were you PL'ed so you didn't learn these things?

And before you say enfeebling like sleepga or flare. Those are useless to boss mobs and even trash mobs. Trash you burn down with fire spells. The greatly few times fire line is good.

ARC is a class, BLM is a job. They are not comparable.

Ya but your thread clearly states Blm buddy. As such Blm is very limited as Thm isnt. as Said by Devs that jobs are more for Pts as Classes are for solo. And as Arc you have Invigorate so you dont need to use shot all the time.

Personally, I disagree with the overall idea of nerfing BLM. However, they really need to make BLM not be the solution to everything. Give us something that has retarded magic defense/defense in general. Even the playing field, rather than destroying one job because it's better than others.

Also most BLM players are actually pretty shit. So there's that, at least.

Any class can be a support class. The armory system allows them to be.

Blm is a job, you can't give it cure or stoneskin or protect.

Therefore arc can be and is a support class dur to the armory and job system from bard.

Thm is designed to be support/dd as well but your title is about blms.

Yes they should add more resistant mobs. but if its to bad then Blm heads back to FF11s Toau days where they have to solo for their levels. And they cant nerf Blm cause theres nothing to nerf. The Idiot op doesnt realize that Arc/Brd still does damage, and has abilities inbetween to wait for Shot to recharge. Demanding Blm get nerf for this is ludicrous. OP look at the list again and show what blm didnt get. It didnt get better damage with ice line, and the ice line wasnt made into a combo. Fire saps mp with constant use and using it at the wrong time will get you killed. Sleepga gets resisted after its first use. Convert is fine. Burst is a 15 min recast for no reason. Flare is extremely situational. Freeze is ok but like the rest of the Ice line loldmg. The only single target combo spells it has is thunder. do you see Blms crying like 4 year olds demanding other classes/job be nerf no they dont they deal with it. cause god forbid you have to wait all of 3 seconds to hit shot again.

I'd just like to know exactly how much more the Devs will gut and destroy ARC/BRD before they're satisfied that no one will ever touch it again...

(Light Shot shouldn't even be an issue to begin with had the devs not derped ARC AA and made it shoot a FOOKING ARROW INSTEAD OF SLAPPING THINGS IN THE FACE!)

o_O now I"m confused what exactly did they do to ARC/BRD aside from adding a recast to light shot when WS are used lol?

nothing thats all the devs did
