If you didn't expect the BLM changes, you've not been paying attention

I was expecting them, but I expected them by 7.0. When I saw that they kept the timer despite all the other changes, and still kept it in 7.1, it gave me hope that they valued this part of it.

But I could also see how Pictomancer had basically destroyed its competition and that Black Mage was in a position of being like a handicapped Pictomancer.

I think you can still be sad about something despite expecting it, and I think that's how most people are who played the job properly at any point.

Pictomancer should have never existed. That's the bottom line. This is the end result of the studio feeling like they HAVE to make a new job for every expansion.
