Black Mage Revamp

[HakuroDK]

Although exciting, the only problem I can foresee coming from this is there will be one aspect of specialization that will prove to be the most beneficial and all blm will need to adhere to that one particular specialization or be told to gtfo. They really need to do something like specialization carefully otherwise there is no point to it at all.

Or it could be that each one has a different utility that works best depending on the situation, which would be the ideal.

Fire being great for AoEs (Less powerful than Thunder, more powerful than Blizzard), Blizzard being superior for crowd control (Weakest direct damage, but focuses on inflicting status effects like bind, heavy, maybe something similar to slow or paralysis?), and Thunder being superior for single-target damage (most powerful direct damage).

That way, no one spell set is the most universally powerful. Fire is great against groups of adds, but terrible against bosses, blizzard would be useful in situations where crowd control is critical (like PVP or in areas with ambush enemies that the tank may not be able to handle), but not very good against bosses or enemies immune to Crowd Control effects, and Thunder would be best for single enemies and bosses, but would take a long time to whittle down groups of enemies.

I thought this was a joke thread about being excited that the Black Mage is being revamped into a healer that uses cards and celestial magic.

On topic, I would like to say that this trope:

while good and varied, has been done a bazillion times before, and I'm glad that it doesn't exist in this game.

It's not tho, that would be more limiting. Spam fire on packs of mobs, spam thunder on single target fights, Reducing the number of abilities that are useful on fights makes the job more brain dead than having access and use of ALL abilities in fights,

Its not like that at the end.
Blm is the worst job to level in this game. It gets fun after lv40 though.

True, out of all the jobs I found BLM to be the most boring to level.
