Either SMN and RDM should lose their Raise or BLM should get a Raise.

[Deceptus]

Sigh. . .

RDM are good for progression because they allow a safety net. Their DPS is lower than BLM.

BLM are better for farms because people shouldn't be dying.

BLM are better for farms because people shouldn't be dying.

So, why not play SMN and be even better?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

BLM are better for farms because people shouldn't be dying.

Except... they're not. They have a noticeably harder time than SAM rotation wise and SMN laughs at both of them damage wise. BLM, currently, is more or less useless. You're playing it because you enjoy it and little else. It offers nothing to the raid.

And BLM is lower than SMN.

Also balancing a job as a safety net is a dumb idea and always leads to the job getting tossed out at the earliest opportunity. Don't sympathize with that? It also means people who don't like the job are forced into it for the safety net. It's dumb on all ends.

I would like to see Ley Lines as being a group buff. On activation it gives a party wide casting speed boost that slowly reduces in effectiveness like RDM's Embolden. The action would still cast a glyph on the floor where the BLM can utilize as getting a casting speed buff for the longest duration and also to return to if they need to move due to dodging attacks.

It's just an idea at least and ranged DPS and casters would benefit most, and a clever BLM could put it down for melee as well I suppose but it'd be there more to compete with RDM/SMN utility, as we all know adding or removing rez fixes nothing.

All I can say to the title of the topic is: No, please don't give blm a raise. Raising lowers our dps, we don't want less dps, we want more.

Ah and here we have another uncreative person who also doesn't read, in their natural habitat.


Insert the Morpheus meme here that says "What if I told you" that having raise doesn't HAVE to be a damage loss? (180s recast)

Now you’re just being unnecessarily snarky. I know you’re fond of your oGCD raise idea, but you don’t need to attack this poster to further promote it.

A 180s recast raise wouldn't change anything at the current situation. Why take a blm who can raise every 3 minutes, when you can simple take a smn who can raise more often and deals more damage? Of course the blm raise you promote could have some other benefits, but I don't think that suits the playstyle of blm. We already have enough classes that are able to raise. Give us some magic debuff, decrease the cd of transpose or something like that.

Don't forget, everyone who disagrees with him about this is automatically uncreative, unimaginative, or short sighted, pick at least 2 of the above and mix and match to create your flame because someone disagreed with you.
