    BLM won't get a raise, and that's a good thing.

    I mean... aside from all the many many reasons that the job shouldn't have one, the fact is that even if BLM did have a raise, its core mechanic of having unlimited MP would mean that the spell would be functionally useless due to the selfish nature of the job. Why do people think that BLMs would benefit from a raise spell when BLMs are already known for ignoring mechanics (with healers adjusting) in order to maximize their GCDs and manapool on damage?

    If you want an actual in-game example, look at mana shift. Everyone said that it would make BLM an infinite mana battery, but the fact is that mana is too precious a resource for BLM for them to want to share.

    The raise would have to be free and OGCD (i.e. always instant cast) to even warrant BLMs using it, and given how OP that is, the DPS tradeoff would be massive, not to mention the cooldown would have to be equivilent to hallowed ground (7 minutes), and to most BLMs, that would be a slap in the face.
