They are gutting Black Mage even more in 7.2

[Daralii]

I have not played BLM since early EW so I cant remember how rotations worked at all other than "Pick your spot well because you going to be there a while" being half of the part of the job. I liked PCT in DT because it felt like a more mobile BLM removing the need for intricate encounter knowledge.

From what I am gathering is BLM basically going to be like taking PCT and swapping out the muses for other spells ? If so for someone like me I think "Oh I get to have similar mobility but be more of a caster with a difficulty up ?" and I'd actually go back to looking at BLM which is potentially what SE is trying to do ? I really feel sorry for BLM players if I am right though because that sounds like they may as well just make a new job and leave BLM as it was.

Just trying to understand what 7.2's "Playstyle description" would be for BLM.

"Press orange buttons until pink bar is empty, then press blue buttons until pink bar is full. Press purple buttons sometimes."

Do you think SE might be sacrificing current BLM playerbase to create a job that might attract more people then ?

They've tried that multiple times with other jobs and it hasn't worked. Just look at all the AST and MNK reworks that didn't move the needle.
