Why are Black mages so upset about PVP?

You guys really think they have not tested BLMs out in PvP before release? Why do you think scathe got nerfed? because of how overused and OP it is in PvE content? damn creatures… play the content for a bit before you come here and whine like lil b*tches

Scathe is so far from OP, BLMs barely use it

Their prerogative but I kind of loved it when I would get a 600+ scathe in while running around (before 2.1)

I mean do you guys really just want and new ability say called.. "I win" cast time instant damage is 100% of opponents hp? seriously?

That was his point. It was nerfed in preparation for how it'll be used in PvP.

However, I use Scathe quite a bit in PvE, so nerfing it for PvP really ticks me off. Yoshida said they wouldn't be nerfing PvE skills for PvP balance, and that was the whole purpose of creating skills for PvP only. Other games screw up PvE efficacy of classes when they balance things for PvP... This is why a lot of games make class abilities have different number values in PvP and PvE, so they can be balanced SEPARATELY.

Scathe got nurfed to further drive home the point that Yoshi P and everyone else at SE hates... Hates... HATES BLMs. Once again lets count the ways. Shittiest and most usless job abilities (before you even say flare long cast time aoe fire 3 that uses ALL MY MANA), crappiest looking gear EVER, nurfed, and oh yeah take our fave aoe nurf it and GIVE IT TO EVERYONE!
