BLM gets a combo finisher that barely outdamages what THM already has. That to me says something is wrong. It has nothing to do with "foresight" or "assumptions." It's purely objective thinking when you compare two equivalent things and realize that something does not fit.

I don't agree with the people who are saying Burst is useless. However, Burst is extremely unfitting as a 15 minute ability.
There's nothing comprehensive about using an ability incorrectly and then expecting drastic results then posting inaccurate portrayals of overly opinionated misinformation about a job/class. Its not SEs fault some ppl are too ignorant to read tooltips or strategize their jobplay with proper ability rotations.

Used properly BLM is a damage powerhouse. Used improperly (just like any other job) its "the most brokez thing evarrrrz!!!!&$&!! Im quittenz diz broked game!"

You can't make BLMs abilities any easier to learn than the already existing tooltips that clearly tell you how to use it.

BLM has mostly been capable of insane power throughout its many iterations in the ff series.

But, in order to not have a ffxi repeat SE needs to keep it balanced in relation to other jobs/classes. Otherwise mass hysteria will begin and the retarded threads like "nerf BLM cause im jealous itz moar dan muh coolWAR! Mine feeling iz hurted!". After enough of those threads SE nerfs BLM until we have a ffxi repeat where no one wants blm in their party.

Is that the true agenda here? To have BLM nerfed? Because thats the road most traveled in these type of falsely altruistic rant threads.
