Black Mage Job Changes Wishlist for 4.25 or 4.3

The problem with the Sleep changes is that we aren't a burst class and I don't think its the right direction to make us into a burst class given how every other caster is a burst class. Let us be a sustained DPS class that is all about pumping out spells. The Direct Hit scaling - it scales the third worst on us out of all secondary stats and isn't a stat that really fits with BLM's gameplay.

Freeze changes - you only need one Umbral Heart for AOE rotations.

AM - I can totally get that retargetting on the controller can be slow, but unfortunately that's an issue with the interface you are using, not with the skill itself.

Regarding Empower Ley Lines - Again, even if its a direction that SE decide to go down, haste buffs are not preferred for raid wide buffs.

This is a PS4 game as well; not a lot of choice in interface there... also, and I know some people simply live in savage raids, but FFXIV has a LOT of other content as well, some of which you are forced to do solo; would just be nice if AM was a bit more of a core skill that could be used in any situation.

PS4 can use a Keyboard and Mouse to my knowledge.

'Can' and being practical are not the same thing...

I agree with this sentiment. It's odd that AM is completely useless solo. We cannot use it all without a party member. It would be nice if it was a teleport like shikuchi.
