Caster/BLM Adrenaline needs some fix?

[DCILuther]

I've been playing Frontlines non-stop. I always seem to get Slaughter. Anyways, I noticed that Cometeor gets casted constantly. Not only that, sometimes the indicator is showing up late, thus, making dodges late. I just got off the match where two folks were complaining about the Radius as well.

Does Cometeor need some fixing? (a bit of nerf?) My main issue with it is, does the Adrenaline fill faster for casters? Because it gets casted over and over again.

Battle High/Fever fills it faster. BLMs tend to get Battle High/Fever early on. Once at Fever it only requires 2kills to refill the LB. Since LB tends to garner at least 2kills, one BLM is capable of spamming Cometeor.

Maybe change CC so that tri-disaster and their sleeps are single target (slaughter only)? Would make it possible to dodge for more people, as well as keeping cometeor in the same dmg wise.

Easy solution is to not run in and melee the center node. AoE fire spam on a fixed target spreading to 6-12 people can rack up the kills pretty fast.

quadruple flare for a penta kill within a minute, and I'm laughing my ass off

I tried blm for the first time. Iv played healer, tanks, melees, bard .... I will say without a doubt that I feel my bar go in up much faster as blm regardless of battle fever. I did three matches as blm ...had no idea how to play blm...and I owned. First match was 90k damage and 5 kills never having played blm end game before and having crappy gear.

Towards the end of the match BLM's on the winning teams appear to have more cometeors. That's expected.

If there's an issue, I think it's server lag with either getting hit after moving out of the aoe or some of the aoe's just not showing up in an active battle. They are very easy to avoid most of the match, and then all of a sudden I'm hit by 3 in a row and I might have stood in one circle.

The other option is to kill and mez these BLM's first. The amount of times I've seen a BLM mez broken instantly makes me want to scream.

"Owned" might be over doing it. I have gotten at least 3 kills in a match as a WHM

The best method to actually fixing this issue, where a premade party will stomp on the other GC by having 5-6 Casters coordinate Caster LB is to simply have players that are hit by Cometeor get a buff icon that lets them become invulnerable to Cometeor for the next 2s.

The issue of Casters Spamming LB isn't the cast time nor the damage it does, it's the flexibility of having multiple casters just being able to chain meteors that there is absolutely no way to prevent yourself from dying if 2-3 are cast on you. I actually don't mind the LB Cast time nor the damage it does, sometimes it's dodgeable, sometimes it's not.

The problem just lies in the fact that Casters also get to do a massive AoE Sleep that unless you already have a reduction from the status or trinket to get out of it, you're most likely going to take the damage.
While 1 may not kill you, 2 almost certainly will and if 2 doesn't 3 does for sure in a premade party.

It's argueable and people can maybe say, well you should coordinate better with your party/alliance if you want to do that too. But sadly I am going by the assumption that majority of the players that enter FL for one isn't going to be as coordinated as those that are premade and are acting like a raid group (and on a voip to coordinate especially). There's no proof that people who coordinate Caster LBs are on voip or even friends/FC members in general, but when you see close to perfect timing of 3-5 Caster LB Chains on a consistant basis, unless theyre typin in chat or letting off SE to know when to cast LB, it's likely they have some sort of advantage by the assistance of being in a voip to call out Sleeps and LBs

3 kills is the standard amount, just let melees run up to you and kick them off because they deserve to die if they haven't figured out that we are tanks by now :/

Sadly, the knockbacks over the ledge don't count as kills. I'd have a lot more now.
