Brd/Mch was fixed, will BLM be fixed?

[Averax]

For the most part, I don't mind BLM.

Except when, y'know, a fight demands so much damage evasion that people start giving you crap because you're parsing 10% less than the melee that can dance and combo all they desire.

Not advocating parsers. Not complaining about them, either. Just asking for a little more leniency in moving around. Someone mentioned making Fire IV instant cast. Not so sure about it, but it's a thought.

Well, if people start giving you crap about what you're parsing. Tell them you will destroy them because parsing is a no-no. I thought the rule of thumb was to not talk about using them if you use them?

Either way, i hate DPS meters, they turn people into a-holes.

I really don't care about DPS as long as the boss dies.

Parsing should never be used by other people to judge you - it's about you judging yourself. Is my accuracy okay? Why am I doing 30% of the damage of the other person of the same class as me - is it gear or my rotation? If my accuracy is good, can I swap out a piece with more crit hit or det and get better numbers?

Boss takes 20 seconds longer to kill with a BLM vs a dancing melee, dungeon trash takes 10 minutes less to kill with that BLM. I'm fine with the trade-off.

Best solution for BLMs with the woes, remove the extra effect of Blizzard IV to reset Enochain timer.

First I would like to point out just because SE made some changes doesn't automatically equal fixed and second I have seen hardly any BLM complain about their class since 3.0 so not sure what fixing OP is talking about especially since doesn't even bother explaining what he is talking about.

You should check out the DPS Class Section and not the General Discussion section. There you will find a ton of thread about QoL changes for the BLM. There's a ton that can be done in order to make the class more efficient with out making it OP.

-extending the timer for Umbral Ice and Astral Fire would greatly fix some issues.
-Allowing us to finish our cast of Blizzard 4/Fire 4 if we are mid cast when Enochian or Umbral Ice/Astral Fire falls off instead of just cancelling the cast all together.

That's pretty much it. Would completely fix the class. No damage buffs needed. No other things to be changed. Just 2 simple things.

My main concern isn't specifically for BLM, but more mages in general.

What is with the MP scaling?

I worry about what it will be like with the next level cap increase.

Brd/MCH was fixed

Did i miss something?

They reduced the dmg potency of MCH AoE from 300 to 200... WS "Fauss Round" from 200 to 180
they just increased gauss barrel from 20% to 30% but also the re-use from 5 s to 15s..


this is more what i call a nerf lol

I worry about what it will be like with the next level cap increase.

i hope they find an other way to make the game enjoyable for expansions.. other than just raising level cap.

Just speaking for "Dark Age of Camelot" .. A MMorpg for 10 years and they didnt even increase the level cap ONCE..
on the contrary they implemented stuff like artifact items that have to be leveled or master quests with boss encounters for additional skills.

i think that would be much more enjoyable than restarting the level exp grind wheel.

I don't have BLM60 and thus can't answer for your gripes on your chosen job. As a DRG, I CAN address your complaint about "dancing melee DPS." Everytime there's a phase shift and about half the time that a boss's AOE forces me out of attack range, my BotD drops and I can wave goodbye to about 10% of my damage output. The Expert Roulette fights are extremely melee DPS unfriendly: to the point that I wondered at the changes if they couldn't truly be utilized until 3.01 came out. I'd suggest that instead of complaining about how "hard" your job is, you learn to do it better and maximize what you can do given the restrictions of the fight you're in. Not every fight out there is going to be perfect for you to just stand in one place in turret mode just as not all fights will allow melee to keep their stances up by forcing them away from the boss every 10 seconds. These things are called "mechanics," and it's your job to learn to deal with them: not SE's job to make it easier for you.

This should have stopped you from posting all together if you realized this on your own...

You can't compare a melee class to a caster class. Just wow. I see you posted gripes about your class. Go make your own thread about it then. Common sense alludes you.
