BLM changes are really tonedeaf

[MichiKyou]

As someone who has tried to play black mage but couldn't due to ping, complexity and other issues - I am glad it is getting -some- difficulty reduction and something more standard which may be easier to play on a higher ping connection.
Especially since they changed SMN from a dot class which I really enjoyed before hand. I get why people are upset but I think overall the changes will feel fun.

It may be getting some difficulty reduction in terms of understanding the rotation, but actually executing it is going to be a huge pain in the ass, particularly pre Umbral Soul.

Between removal of Ice Paradox and certain procs, changing the mp management to ice only, and locking the new flare star accrual behind just two spells, it's going to be a pretty punishing mess.
