BLM Silence?

[Eloc]

Along with the nerfs we got i thought SE said they were going to give black mages "something more to do on boss fights" and i took this to mean they were spreading the silence role so you didnt need to stack bards. We didnt get anything new, just nerfs

anyone else remember seeing that?

[AliceLiselotte]

Not really o_o

I don't remember they ever intend to give BLM something more. BLM has always been about the damage without the utility....

aoe sleep, eye for an eye, virus. Yep no utility there.

aoe sleep, eye for an eye, virus. Yep no utility there.

Lets see,

AoE Sleep: Does it work in Coil or end game content? no? Worthless.

Eye for an eye & virus: u haz smn & sch in group? why u cast weak virus? Add to it eye for an eye is already taken care of.

In reality, BLM in Coil is a damage bot, this is fine. Just please stop pretending we haz utility that we can actually help with outside your fun super hard WP SR.

Edit: I'm not complaining btw, I'm just tired of this misconception. I love my BLM, just please stop BS us and trying to tell us what our job can or can't do, we know better.

Crowd control, and its super effective at it, longest bind a class can use, swiftcast makes it instant. It is very useful.

This ^
I'm afraid that what this haz man says, he haz it right!

or even better, let's go a little further here and use another example of something useless that SE has still not changed:

You enter T1, in mid fight someone misses a silence and you get paralysed.
Oh i know, i've got 10 Spine potions !!
You use one, now it's on cooldown and you look up to find yourself, STILL paralysed.

Says it's meant to remove the effect of paralysis on the bottle! huh?! so what the?

So when are you going to use those potions? Running around fates? that's the place where you most likely WON'T waste them so you can save them for the time you actually need them.

Useless !
