Please reconsider 7.0 BLM changes

like 6 people? maybe 7? in a game with millions of players it's not really saying much.

Here's another thread of complaints. But you would know if you did your research.

Stop falling for the bait!!!

Snip

Speaking of bait, apparently that Gamesradar 7.2 "job review start deadline" was a mistranslation, so my hopium just went up in flames.
Reminds be of 4.0. Here's to a few minor patches of misery again

I didn't expect anything tbh.
The second I saw DT wasn't changing CD timers I knew it was unfixable, all these changes are just related to the 2 minute meta cancer thats been attached to the game since EW. Never expect improvements until you see CDs timers becoming more varied again, its the same with the cope around encounters becoming better. They won't be it will be beholden to everything being patterned around 2 minute bursts.

I was losing half of mind in those conversations. Thankfully no more

Again, a small handful of posters and largely the same people posting here. Then several others who are supportive of the changes.

I'm not even baiting you, just keeping it real with you. Change is inevitable. Black mage is supposed to be turret caster, the difficulty and mastery has always been around knowing the encounters so well that you can maintain uptime and avoid mechanics with really big brained positioning and limiting movement to the bare minimum while you cast as many devastating fire spells as possible. The devs don't like that people are getting around that difficulty by adjusting their rotation dynamically. Black mage is not about pulling out the right non-standard lines that you've memorized from reading external guides.

I get that you're upset, I get that you don't like playing black mage the way it was designed and intended to be played. It's just inevitable that the job will change if the people at the top are avoiding to play the job the way the devs want it to be played. It would be like if samurai was able to play optimally by using hagakure instead of iaijutsu to spam shinten. Would that be good for the game? So innovative such a clever use of game mechanics, so big brained.
