I'm not hugely pleased with the BLM stuff, either. It's QoL stuff that need not have taken up 70-80 slots, and I find the new spells dull and visually uninspired. So that's both RDM and BLM that I'm not particularly looking forward to. I'm going to give SMN a whirl, though, probably reserving BLM for when I want to switch things around a bit. Maybe even SAM, NIN and DRG, who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aside from the healers (I'll wait to see the new content to form an opinion on those), there's a few more jobs which appear to have suffered from a lack of any inspiration on SE's part, but aside from RDM, how many can boast an ability which is a downgrade (as opposed to moving damage away from Displacement) as a new ability?
