Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

[HaroldSaxon]

Maybe we have a different opinion of what unplayable means, but no jobs in this game is/was unplayable, there are different grades of optimal, but not unplayable.

Did you actually play BLM in 4.0? It was absolutely awful.

That said, you know as much as me that the only way to bandaid fix us to be somewhat relevant in a meta composition without ANY synergy is by overbuffing our dmg which as you have stated in another topic it was not going to happen.

Wrong. Our damage doesn't need to be overbuffed. It needs to be buffed to a level that makes it worth taking over utility. That isn't called overbuffing.

The reason SE won't do it is because they hate casters and they hate selfish DPS.

Is it only Summoner? If it's an issue with Dots, then I imagine everyone goes down a notch.

Dot's are one thing, Radient shield is another that is being fixed.

I'm aware of how the 'tool' works. If it was unclear, my use of past tense there referred to expansion launch, not any current debate about the merits of Bliz 4.

Blizzard IV skipping was not viable in 4.0 - it is viable with current BLM after the 4.05 changes

but I still would like to know if my overall raid contribution will be fine when I join a pf.

No, it won't.
