Ideas to Improve The Black Mage (for 4.2 and beyond!)

[LeeraSorlan]

Blm mobility is perfect as it is to me, i do not want to be able to run around like a redmage or SMN, the difference between a bad BLM and a good BLM is largely dependant on movement, and i like that. it tells me "hey, that BLM really knows his job and the fight and can optomize around it"Pls do not add more mobility to blm.


Rng is Rng, its whatever, i dont like it, but ive accepted that nearly every job nowdays has it, with few exceptions, if anything, instead of changing how thunder 3 RNG works, just default it to a 20/30s timer to use the proc instead of the short time its at now, as it is, theres alot of thunder 3 procs i dont use from time to time because im in my astral heart fire 4 phase/dont want to overwrite a buffed T3 tick when it still has over half its duration left


Blm dmg is great, you dont even notice the loss of raging strikes due to the expansion boosting our dps by default, but more dmg is always nice anyway, so i wont disagree

Dont really have an opinion on enochian, it does feel harder to keep up than 3.0 enochian, but at the same time its also easier? transpose keeps it up, and while its preffered you never have to use transpose, sometimes u just get those unlucky set of mechanics that refuse to let u cast. but the cooldown enochian itself is so short, youd have to mess up shortly after u used it for it to even matter nowdays, this is a non issue to me.


Im unsure how well you blm (hell even im not the best, far from it) but idk, BLM is more about knowing the fight rather than knowing the job, i feel like. minimizing movement and planning ahead is fun to me, thats what blm is to me, and i dont want that to be changed, and most of your issues seem to be fixed by doing just that, knowing the fight better
