BLM QOL suggestions to make Enochian less punishing

[Galvuu]

I'll make it even clearer. Coming from HW, Black Mage is easy. I used to think it's hard, but it's not that hard at all right now. It just requires a bit of thought.
It irks me when people suggest things to make it "more forgiving" or "less punishing". The simple fact you can transpose to keep the clock ticking towards Void Polyglot makes it very forgiving.

No, Black Mage isn't expected to know all of that during progression. You are expected to put in a bit extra work during progression on the back of your mind- you should be doing a timeline of mechanics and seeing how your cds can be aligned to deal with them. You should keep a mental chronograph of the phases you've mastered and adjust to the new mechanics you see. But that's not so dissimilar from every job.
If a mechanic you're learning forces you to move and cancel a cast, move and cancel a cast. If you lose AF, then you lose AF and make a mental note of it for the next time. You're not gonna hit enrage on relevant content in one pull. Or two, or ten. By the time you're hitting enrage, you'll have a rough idea of what to do.

Suggestions like this and the "BLM rez" one... kinda irk me. They miss the point of this job, its identity, and they show people are often more inclined to find a shorcut rather than live through the grind that most jobs invariably have.
And this Scathe would make many of the harder subtleties of this job completely trivial (like setting cds and procs in advance to keep AF through Forced March in O3S, for example- now you don't need to plan at all, just hit Scathe! So engaging).


For the record, Scathe is not an ogcd. It's an instant cast, there's quite a bit of a difference.

Give BLM a spell other then Fire then.

I kinda think that the kind of people that would deliberately chose the ARR rotation do not want to manage/plan for a lot of stuff, so the rotation is fittingly simple.
