A BLM has access to a better control lockdown than summoner, and both are from distance and instant with only 1 swiftcast.
Lethargy doesn't last 30s and it doesn't cause 40% heavy. It lasts 12s, has a 30s CD, and inflicts 20% Slow 20% Heavy. It's funny that you should complain about how hard a 2.5s cast is to get off, then in the next breath brush off the fact that Sleep is a 2.5s cast.

As a SMN you've surely been the #1 target in most games so you of all people should understand how hard it is to get off a non-Surecast/Swiftcast/Equanimity spell with pressure on you. Extrapolate that idea to a BLM when EVERY kill order is BLM>SMN>Everything Else.


Also, complaining about only 5 easily applicable spells is ridiculous. By your definition BLM have two; Scathe and Lethargy. 80% of the time Scathe does 100 potency and hits for 150-300. I'm not trying to argue that BLMs are weak, I'm pointing out the hipocrisy of your post. You berate others for moaning about SMN because they don't understand the class while proceeding to do the same for BLM.
