Chad Mages What else would you want right now for our class

[Archwizard]

It's a fairly good buff. It adds significantly more flexibility and a permanent not-terrible movement option. Basically giving Black mages the same mobility-potency all the time that Summoners only enjoy during Firebird trance, in addition to all the current tools.

And as I said before, we would still avoid using it for movement as much as possible, just like we do with Scathe now.

Which is untrue. You simply cannot account for all potential movement scenarios. Some, such as Pantokrator or the standard PF strat for Final Omega, for example, required some degree of proc luck in order to deal with several mechanics and lose absolutely nothing.

What this does is effectively allow every single swiftcast and triple to only be used on Fire 4 or Despair, and while that seems obvious, you don't always get that choice. Now, you do.

Doesn't really defeat my point anyway, as buff of any substance or no, it would still also improve quality of life (even if not exclusively) and fits with the thread discussion of "What else I want for BLM."

But fine, "Making fire 1 instant is a buff." And?
