The (Possible) Shape of Black Mage to Come

[Altera]

All I can say is that I hope Black Mage doesn't get anything close to a meaningful rework. Black Mage is the only job where I can get an experience that stimulates my brain the way Black Mage does; nothing else is like it. I would be devastated if the core of what makes Black Mage gameplay so compelling was removed.

I'm hoping that any reworks in 8.0 increase the diversity of experiences jobs can provide, rather than reducing them. Take the jobs that are already similar and breathe some additional flavor so they can be meaningfully differentiated; don't take one of the few unique jobs and homogenize it!

Yeah I have played BLM since 1.0 and I do not want a massive rework, just small improvements.
What I would love to see for future in Dawntrail though is
FlareStar consolidated into Fire4. So when all 6stacks of Astral Souls is met, Fire4 button turns into Flarestar. Also make it instant cast. Or make Despair instant.
Thunder turned into an Ogcd spell to ease with weaving
High Fire/Blizzard 2 damage increase to make them worth using
