BLM 15min wrong?

[MystinaValeth]

I would HATE to have convert as the 15! >.<" screw that sh**

Also, Burst is seriously lacking in every aspect! It should be much stronger or have some sort of added de-buff effect or something. I really hope they some how make Burst stronger in a future update, cause currently its pathetic! I thought Yoshi-P said he liked black mages, so why is their 15 minute so damn lame?

Why would convert be a good 15 minute since you're so hell bent on it.
THM whined and whined and moaned and groaned about not being able to recover MP like WHM could. Why would you want convert to be 15 minutes? That doesn't make ANY sense. Come back when you have an actual suggestion that makes sense. Then you can talk to me about knowing about the job.

I never agreed that Convert should be the Black Mage 15 minute ability. However, Convert would still be a more logical 15 minute ability than Burst. My suggestion in the THM/BLM section was that Convert's slot be replaced with Burst and the BLM 15 minute ability becomes Manafont. Manafont would be an ability that you use in an "oh shit" scenario to nuke down that last bit needed.

This change would also coincide with most of the other jobs' 15 minute ability. PLD gets Hallowed Ground (Invincible from FFXI), WHM gets Benediction, MNK gets Hundred Fists, WAR gets Mighty Strikes, BRD gets Battle Voice (very similar to Soul Voice from FFXI). The only one that is relatively unique is DRG's Dragonfire Dive, which is still worthy of being a 15 minute ability as it does a lot of damage and is AoE and could easily be situationally useful. The new potions and Bard's Ballad of Magi have made MP problems a lot less significant as well.

You can't increase Convert recast time!! because that would reveal which players fails at using MP properly.

I remember seeing an ability on the initial Class Action/Reform List that was posted back in December that was to Manafont from ff11. Perhaps that was to be the 15min ability, but was set aside for perhaps an eventual level cap. Looking at the five abilities BLM got this patch, it's really hard to guess which of them could take a backseat to Manafont's "near-twin".

Ultima go.

I dunno about making the 15 minute ability Convert, but Burst should NOT be BLM's 15 minute.

I think of this too! it is not like burst is overpowered or anything at all. I only see it a bit better than thunderga and nothing game-breaking. cool down shouldn't be more than 3-5 min.

[Bittereye]

i was thinking the 15min for BLM should of been Convert not Burst make more sense to me but what you guys think?

Should we see if we can SE to change these timers around or something?

I don't know about you guys but Convert is terrible! Blissful Mind is so much better and Convert should work the same. FFXI Convert was so much better as well. I hope they look at Convert again and make changes based on the community feedback. As for Burst... 15 minutes is ridiculous. I do the same damage if not more with Freeze...

It's probably bug on e dmg of burst, if it's not, then e 15min recast is kinda joke.

[Jinrya-Geki]

So yeah, looks like I was right about Burst being useless. Totally called this lol.

[YuriSan]

Bring back manafont!

Man... peeps are all like "Bring back this" "Bring back that"

Why not just make it FFXI already and get it over with.
Just make this game exactly same as FFXI and rename it to FFXI-2
and there! problem solved!!
All FFXI fans are high as a kite thinking this needs to be an FFXI clone.. i mean c'mon peeps this is a different game,
please for the love of what is sacred. stop comparing already..
