I am glad BLM is finally not going to be a special snowflake. The class has been in a quasi-unique state for so long living in a double standard that the players forgot that the devs don't like nonstandard play, and nonstandard has been a serious blight on the game in general. Be it a 2% increase, or 40% (as with SMN in HW.) I also am happy the devs are finally removing server tics. That is literally an ARR mechanic and has needed to be fixed for a decade.

The last thing BLM needs to finish its transition into modern play is to remove the AF/UI timers and, bloat removal, as timers are a relic dating back to, literally, ARR. Bring the paradox mechanic down to level 60 and timers can straight up be removed. Bloat can be dealt with by just streamlining bad aspects of the design.

Good riddance to nonstandard, I won't miss you.
