Please reconsider 7.0 BLM changes

[Keichi]

This I don't understand or maybe my english is to bad. Normaly Blizzard 3, Blizzard 4 and Paradox is enough to regen all mana. Even if I use nonstandard I sometimes cap my mana. May I ask where you refresh thunder? That was also able to give time.
I'm not doubting you just trying to get what you mean.


If i interpret the changes right then spell speed should be far better now then crit (a bummer for me who goes crit). I am against lowering spell speed. Its one of the few things that makes blm fun and in my opinion its identity. I also like slow cast times because it gives me time to look at the fight and think.

I was probably simply to fast in the ice phase.
I was in the 75er dungeon and had it multiple times, that i used B3, to switch from fire phase to ice phase and used then b4, to obtain the 3 shards. And switched than allready back to fire with only 6k mp (i didnt played much of attention, because it was only with "side at side" to lvl up the npc). I was probably allways 1-2 seconds to fast with the switch (because the mp regenerated over time and not with action).

The mp change should be positiv, because that scenario shouldnt happen anymore (maybe only in the very first lvl areas, when you only have 1-2 ice soul ready).

Most likely yes. In that area you tend to keep Foul for ice phase if you want to max Thunder dot duration and only use it in fire phase, if the next Polyglot charge is approaching completion - essentially Stormblood gameplay.

Below Lv70 it is actually okay to Blizzard I, Blizzard IV twice or ice Scathe if you don't want to overwrite Thunder dots early.
