Black magic...kinda sucks

[Malkria]

This goes to show you don't understand the job.

Right...I don't understand a job that has one of the most simplistic rotations and play styles in the game. Yes transpose is an option, but at the same time when you are trying to squeeze in every last bit of DPS the server doesn't always register the switch in timer. Like I said, this is the ONLY job that feels like it drives into a brick wall once a timer goes off. There is no 'understanding a job' here, there is no skill needed here, it's if a timer goes off your DPS takes a sudden and immediate nose dive.

Furthermore, how am I trying to ruin BLM for anyone? What have I suggested would ruin the job? Change the play style, maybe get more people to play it, but ruin it? Maybe trying being less elitist. 9.9

No it does not suck in any shape or form. It is in fact, if played right, one of the strongest DPS jobs in the game.

Then everyone I talk to is apparently an idiot? Because I'm being told that BLM not only is NOT the strongest DPS but is also just not fun to play in a lot of my FC and friend's eyes. For a lot of the same reasons I've already talked about (hell it is one of the reasons I picked up the BLM to try it again).

Sorry, but i've spent the time up to 70 now playing the job and...it sucks. YES you have transpose and yes you have some instant cast options. But frankly the rotation is to simple, the mobility to bad, the punishment for making a mistake to severe, and the design over all doesn't mesh with how the game demands you play.

Like I said, I have played many a turret type job/class over the years. I can get behind wanting raw power...and frankly the BLM falls flat in this regard. The fact it is a 'selfish job' and still falls flat only makes it all the sadder.
