I think this post has the best feedback post DT dropping.
Just gonna leave this here:


Least amount of clears in current extremes (by 25% less than the second-to-last job, Monk, and just a timid 4.1x less clears than Pictomancer). BLM has always been a niche job but it has never, since HW, been dead last. It's been bottom 3 a few times, but never dead last, and definitely not with this insane gap to the most played caster.
This job feels horrid to play. I've been playing a lot of pictomancer, and it's night and day. I just remember all those people who never touched BLM saying how accessible and "newbie friendly" it was going to become... yea, that's working out fantastic.
It's not just the potency either- this feels bad to play, like you're playing a job from HW but with modern encounter design.
DT being the death knell of this job wasn't in my bingo card, but I guess at least we have Pictomancer.
Genuinely sad about how this turned out. Enough 4am posting, I go lament the current state of job design in my sleep.
