Don't worry, you missed the 20% Fire 2 nerf and the 7% Fire IV nerf (potencies). We also lose Raging Strikes. Foul looks interesting and nice as well as Umbral Hearts, but it doesn't make up for what we've lost.

AOE Thunder is nice, but it overwrites the Single target thunder, does less potency per tick (by 25% - which is fair) but also procs thundercloud much less. You need to hit it on 10 enemies to get the same thundercloud rate as Single target Thunder III.

Based on the information we know, BLM is likely not going to be competitive at all. No DPS utility. 0 Reason to bring it. Maybe they will buff BLM WD by a large amount, or change things between now and then, and I really hope they do - but I lost faith in SE after they let Casters get into the state they were in during Midas mid patch and then Creator.
