BLM Buffs Inc!

[Sleigh]

I could live with Fire I being insta-cast. Nice DPS increase with Firestarter checks, and heavy movement would go from a ridiculous loss of DPS to acceptable levels. If we got say a 10% DPS increase from buffs that'd be fine, we'd be in line with SMN sustained DPS. SMN would have the multi-DoT advantage, battle resurrection, and superior utility, BLM would have on-demand burst, AoE, and shielding skills; that's balanced enough for me. There's absolutely no reason SMN should do more sustained than BLM with all their advantages, and then when translated to a real fight either stay the same or make that gap even further.

Here's how T9 plays out (slightly over dramatized!) in the later phases:

Sleigh Presty gets targeted by Fireball, move out!
Sleigh Presty gets targeted by Thunderstruck, move to the rear!
The group gets targeted by Fireball, move out!
Sleigh Presty gets targeted by Thunderstruck, move out!
Iron Chariot goes out, move out!
Sleigh Presty gets targeted by Fireball, move out! Sleigh Presty uses Aetherial Manipulation; his target had Thunderstruck! Move out!
Stack with the group for Thermal!
The group gets targeted by Fireball, move out!
Sleigh Presty gets 10 seconds to attack boss!
