How is BLM in new expansion?

[Bambam]

This whole post can summed up with *I have no idea what im talking about but i will comment about blm anyway*

Pretty much. Akiza has always had a bias against BLMs. Thought the name looked familiar. Now I remember why.

When they do make adjustments, and they will eventually, are you going to make a similar thread like this, this year?
I'm not letting BLM go, but its going in the back burner. If I've learned anything from playing this game as a BLM, is to always keep your SMN leveled and gear updated incase of any changes.

Also, it's not just turreting/moving that's annoying/detrimental to the rotation. It's phase shifts and invincibility, something we didn't have to deal with before. Even something disappearing for 10s is enough to make us cry foul.

I mean, phase shifts and invincibility also hurts Summoners Dreadwyrm Trance.

Movement is never an issue once you have done the fights several times, you just gotta plan for it. It's basically the same with 2.X, just abit more punishing now.

I have a level 60 alt BLM. Dont make assumptions out of your ass and make your self look stupid.

You just need to know how to play your job better !

Summoners get punished for having the move if they use Dreadwyrm Trance at the wrong time resulting in massive damage loss. Black Mages are just complaining becuase there job is more technical now and is not easy to maximize damge like 2.0. Black Mages just want to do massive dps without any draw backs which is imbalanced. If SE overeacts and flat out buff Black Mage potency again they should give Summoner Teraflare as a normal spell with 1200 potency and a 3min cd just to balance it out.

I looked at your load stone it says smn 60, Blm 53. I never said anything about my ability nor anything about blm other then say that when your 60. And the guy you quoted is correct, you can't ever compaired a Blm dummy fight to a real fight, you also can't compaired 3 min parse to a 2min, they both need to be at least 5min long, the preferred being 10. So yeah don't assume. I haven't played smn yet but all my 60 smn friends just laugh how they aren't punished by the stuff we are.

Well, you were wrong, since I have a level 60 BLM. And I've done both the EX primals on both jobs and they both had pretty much the same DPS after I've done the fights with both jobs alot, with BLM even topping SMN sometimes in Ravana EX.

So again, maybe people just need to play their job better.

Also, where did I compare dummy parses ?

What numbers are those Summoner "friends" of yours pulling and on what fights ?

That's simply cause both of these fights aren't movement heavy. Seriously, in bismarck phase 2 i can just stand on the edge and turret everything down while picking my nose. Ofcourse you'll have good dps. Now put blm with some aoe dropping monstrosity and look at that dps plummet.

How, when I do bismark exit I get target by every bubble and tornados spawn literally on top of me non stop.

The tornados never reach the southern(probably north too) middle part of the arena.
