Halls of the Novice seriously needs a overhaul, now more than ever.

[Blindheart]

With the constant revamps to jobs that comes with every expansion, I think we are at the point where the Halls of the Novice not only needs a overhaul but also needs to be a requirement in some form. I am still seeing, post 70+ people not understanding the difference between their Single Target and AoE abilities. I was in a Holminster's Switch with a BLM spamming Fire 2, not casting foul, using Blizzard 4 on trash, not using freeze or flare whatsoever. I simply can't process how you get 70+ levels in the game and not understand what the difference is by just reading the tooltips on your abilities and what they do.

To be fair to the new person... I've been playing since day 1 and I don't really understand how to use freeze or flare either. BLM in my opinion is a very poorly designed job when comparing it to a traditional Final Fantasy Black Mage. So if or when I do get around to leveling it up I tend to just use the most basic attacks as well.

Their rotation is the most simple its ever been. They just turned Freeze into a targetable aoe that generates umbral heart. You Literally just go Freeze>Flare+Thunder 4 for trash followed by foul. It's also in the best and most fluid state it's ever been in.
