Dont forget the Scathe nerf too.

The only reason this was ever an issue was that people were bad and didn't know how to split one person to each BLM so that they can't cast. Plus, after 6 flares they are wet noodles.

It's just not fun playing BLM in frontlines anymore. They lost their omph, and there's absolutely no reason to bring one to a party over SMN. If you need the CC that badly to win then you're party doesn't have good enough healers anyway. And what's with the heavy handed balancing anyway? The right way to do it would be to slowly reduce the impact of balancing as the games normalize. Ie: start with radical changes, end up with small 5% tweaks. A straight up 50% nerf to a core ability? WTF god tier BLM do they have over in Japan?

I think Yoshi's LA fanfest where he started taking off his BLM cosplay was a metaphor for what they were doing to BLMs.

You might as well give up on the class for PvP, you wont see any changes with like 9 other jobs dancing over your grave.
