Could kinda see this coming with how much movement is still in the encounters and the design concept of the BLM not working well with it, esp for someone just wanting to play the most iconic job casually.

I think there were other ways they could have improved the job to make it approachable for more people and also have raid statics not hate progging with a BLM. I'm interested to try the job and see how it feels. But keeping up enochian and pulling off your cast on a tight timer is very satisfying. Main points of annoyance for me were procs dropping off due to long lines and that flarestar felt very weak potency and animation wise for the build up too it.

I very much enjoy the blm as it is presently. I expect I will still enjoy the class after the changes, I wasn't ever really into non standard, and I don't want non standard being mandatory for movement as it was previously in some fights. But I was more hoping they would tone down the huge and long sections of continuous movement in fights rather than making sweeping changes to BLM.

On the bright side I think more pugs will be open to BLM in their groups now.
