BLM feedback.

Think most people who played Black Mage during Endwalker seriously and done the new extremes, would rather have them roll back the changes. Its not just one button that is gone but entire playstyles. In statics you might be able to work with it, but in pf Endwalker BLM was great, because you had many answers for dynamic situations.

Yeah I can honestly say I would prefer they removed all Dawntrall changes and abilities, buffed Endwalker abilities to proper balance, and do a rework for 8.0 instead of this frustrating mess atm :/ I cannot fathom how they could fail this badly at a Job that has been pretty good since 1.0/ARR and to Endwalker.

Agree, this is the low point for BLM. I don't like anything added for DT. Every change has contributed to making the class less interesting and more of a chore. Thunder and short fire phases feel terrible.

I agree 100% with this comment and pretty much everything the original post said, I would take 6.X BLM over 7.0 in a heartbeat and would be happy with literally no adjustments. Retrace and the extra polyglot are actually kind of nice though, so I wouldn't mind those staying.

Yes, please just go back to Endwalker Black Mage. These changes feel like a slap in the face after playing it in Endwalker and finding out it was the most fun job in the game. I would rather Black Mage have gotten the treatment most other jobs got which was no changes except a followup ogcd action on something because SE didn't know how to add something without breaking the whole existing rotation. Just make flare star an upgrade of despair, make flare star stacks not disappear in UI (or remove the gauge), and give us a small amount of movement back with Ice Paradox. It's hilarious to look at PCT and see how much movement it has between GCDs (and support abilities and a 20s movement ability with a movement speed increase?!) and then wonder what happened to Black Mage. It honestly feels like it just wasn't play tested at all and all of the changes were a knee jerk reaction to kill nonstandard rotations (which, who really cares if there is a nonstandard rotation?) which just ended up hurting everyone. It's funny because I always assumed Black Mage would be in a good spot because it's always had one of the most interesting rotations with the most dedicated players. Now it feels like who ever designed it either hates Black Mage players or is just bad at designing jobs, which I know the second part isn't true because the new jobs are really well designed!
