Question:
Would it be truly dead?
Non-standard was practicly to go into ice, use any spell, except ice (because it to weak), until mp is ready and go back to fire (i never understand, why you wouldnt collect the ice shards).
At last, if the cut wasnt false, does it look like, that ice phase is extremly short.

By the clip of WeskAlber, was the blm in Ice mode with 3 soul marks and 0 mp (mean, he probably used blizard to enter that mode).
After 1 freeze, was the mp allready back at maximum. So, that he was able to go back into the fire mode.

Isnt that even better, as what non-standard had yet? It looks to be faster as before and gives all needes ressources.


Aside of that:

The only th8ing i dislike by the new Blm is the thunder change.
I liked it, to started the fight sometimes with the thunder spell. Evenm by hunt trains did i used mostly thunder to set up the proc, and than simply waiting most of the time. To givbe other players the cnahce to hit the enemie to.
The forced connection to the soul-modes looks unnecressary and is a little sad.
Aside of that, do i see nothing bad at the new bllm. He looks even more to be a fire mage, as before (ok, that can be a negativ point, that the focus is going to much into fire).
