How to Fix Black Mage for Good

[Seraphor]

And as I said, even at low levels Scathe is useless. Or at the very least nigh useless. There are so few AoEs at that level that you will rarely ever use it. And you should have SC always since it's a cross role, and the odds you need major movement more than once in 60s at level 30 and below are low. Scathe is so bad that if it didn't proc it would probably be better just to not use it because the movement will take less time than the GCD and you can start casting a real spell sooner. If it procs it would be fine, but that's a big if given the low chance.

I was referring to "Sleep needs a rework or the boot."
There's no need to remove a skill that's useful at low levels, just because it not worth using at higher levels.
Nothing is gained from doing so, but you make the levelling process more dull and tiresome.

I see, my bad. But Sleep is very niche. There's no reason to use it in dungeons unless your healer is abysmal, and it also necessitates that you have a Paladin tank as Warrior and DRK will wake them up instantly. I could see SOME value in solo content, but any time you spent wasting on a sleep spell would have been better spent on a fire 1. If you get in a bad situation and are overwhelmed, sure, useful, but you could also just sprint away 99% of the time and come back. If you have a legitimate use case I'd love to hear it, and I'm open to having my mind changed about booting it. But it needs a rework, and I don't think I can be persuaded otherwise about that. Without one, it will forever be exempt from my hotbars.
