Black Mage

[Remedi]

BLM needs to be above SAM power level for the simple reason of the lack of magical buffs in the game, as for the gearing problem realistically only RDM and SMN really share gearing since BLM prefers spell speed (besides the splitting of physical gear is problematic since the inventory issue of the game).

I Think Xenosys explained the power creep problem very well when he said that now everyone has fell cleave, which hurts more when we consider that we got nerfed in the 4.0, I feared that the fire4 nerf + raging strike loss was scary, I was told it was fine and well......not really, I do understand that they wanted to close the gap between enochian and non enochian rotations, but that + the power creep of other jobs led to this situation and because of that I think we should get a small potency buff in some way (it doesn't need to be a straight +20 potency buff to F4, it can be something else)

A real stupid idea I totally suggested once upon a time was that every use of Fire 4 increased Fire spell potency by 10, reset when AF ends. It intrinsically adds value to Blizzard 4 and boosts up the convert window as well. You could combine this with B4 also providing UI3's speed boost to the fire spells it benefits and suddenly Black Mage is machine gunning out ramping Fire spells.
