    What I'd really like to see more of with BLM is a mobility rework. As fights get increasingly unforgiving with regards to dodging various this and thats, the BLM suffers accordingly (not to mention "stack the whole squad" mechanics such as Titan EX, which by default force you to be a melee DPS ...) - Scathe doesn't cut the mustard and you are all too often compelled to prioritise avoidance to the point of losing your spell (and DPS). SMN are in this boat too, but worst case for them is a dot drops off (which may not even mean anything if it is restored before the next server tick) while BLM have to worry about the short duration of Astral Fire stacks.

    Could be I need to get better at my class perhaps (I probably do, I'm sure I'm not the top BLM in the realm ...) but part of it is definitely the class itself; I am reading reports that top Final Coil statics are actually going 3 melee + BRD and benching the caster DPS roles, and I can only guess the mobility conundrum is a top reason.

    U took me wrong dude, I didn't say it can't be done.. Of course it was done, with geared melees & BRD. See what my target audience said, "I am reading reports...", means he didn't do that by himself. My point is, not anyone can do that, especially those who judge a thing by just reading some reports.

    And also, if u play BLM and keep whining about moving a lot reducing your DPS, then reroll a BRD, u have no talent at all playing BLM master race
    Here, the words from PuroStrider for whiner BLMs :
    "If you're fed up about unable to DPS while moving and having to dodge all the time, please reroll a BRD. Be sure to post in the forum first to aware everyone that you suck balls."

    on top of that you learn when you can squeeze spells in so your dps doesn't suffer.

    this is a big part of the class in harder content and part the reason I will not change from blm for raids as I like the challenge of keeping dps up whilst still having to dodge or interact with the mechanics. not that I don't like standing there and fire off spells to murder everything quickly.

    strange awareness of ghosts that no longer haunt this shell.
