Why Black Mage Needs (a teensy bit of) Help

[NoxLumina]

That Eirene Snow person is having fun on SMN. I'm actually thinking of leveling SMN after reading her thoughts on the job.

Yeeaa so I was told. But it's.. weird.

And people wonder why there are so many RDMs...

I refuse to continue playing RDM out of spite at this point.

Same here. It just feels... dirty.

So a friend I trust, with a parser, parsed out the damage for Black Mage and apparently yes, Black Mage hits harder with the old rotation.

Good job, YoshiP. You messed up your own favorite class.

Hell, it's not like the job NEEDS that much to fix!

Maybe give us a proper haste buff when we cast Blizzard IV, to make the additional Fire IVs worth our while.

Maybe eliminate the recast time for Thunder/Thunder II/Thunder III/Thunder IV when we get Thundercloud, so we can weave it like a true oGCD.

Maybe increase our potency back to 280 or even 300.

Literally do ANYTHING to emphasize our need for big booms without punishing us beyond our cast bars!
