In addition, to provide some party utility, I think Leylines should get an upgrade in the high 60’s where party members also get a 10%-15% spell/cooldown speed increase when in your Leylines. This would encourage BLM’s to stick with the other mages and to better position their Leylines for party support. This would stick BLM in a good supportive mage role without giving it anything lore breaking like a raise.

I don’t know if this would be quite enough to get it in the meta, but at least I wouldn’t feel like I’m putting all this effort into staying in my Leylines and taking hits for practically nothing…
