Then, you backpedal and say that yes, they are harder on casters if you want to play optimally... Exactly like positionals. Yet, you only make it a big deal when talking about melee.
Well, this is a thread about melees, not cast times?... I could talk about what mechanics are really harsh for casters, if you want. But I'm only "making a big deal about melee" because this is a melee thread... I only keep mentioning content like Valigarmanda or Shadowbringers because you're jumping down my throat making wild accusations at me and I have to defend myself. You never literally say "you think casters are easy," but you describe me as part of a melee circlejerk and that I am meleesplaining your role. Those are accusations, my friend.

Anyways, I agree that BLM is a different job right now. But with experiences that I had on BLM, I can triangulate my opinions on current BLM. For instance, the heart mechanic is very similar to one of Byakko EX's Aramitama mechanics, where you are dodging orbs that radiate from the center of the arena. I did that on BLM and found it easy. From the PoVs of BLM I have watched, heart looks pretty easy too if you move away from other players so you arent getting extra AoE baits. But I'll be sure to let you know when I level it.

I earnestly believe these two mechanics are easier on casters. RDM aside, I think every fight in the game is easy on SMN. And you keep ignoring that I have spoken to and watched people play these jobs! If, to have an opinion about something, you had to be the best player in the world at that thing, then none of us could ever talk about jobs ever again.

I truly do feel it's easier. You can try and ignore the things I'm mentioning to prove I have no expertise, but it just digs a deeper hole for you.
