BLM and SMN BUFFs info is coming out!! PATCH 2.3 Preliminary

[Zoeila]

i think some of the blm hate may come from FFXI. early in the games life blm's had a vice grip on parties. sometimes you had to use weak weaponskills so the blm could magic burst. also the way aoe's worked in that game made blm dmg beastly on single tagets(aoe spells had inflated dmg because the damage was reduced by the amount of targets)

I highly doubt people hold grudge for that. Once people realized that black mages were more trouble than they were worth, people just stopped bringing them to leveling parties and black mages started doing black mages parties instead and everyone was happy.
