I mean, tbh I really enjoy the 7.2 BLM
I LOVED ShB and EW BLM.

However DT BLM was really the worst. Sure movement wasn't an issue anymore with so many instant but god forbide, with so many xeno, the new thunder and instant paradox and our new shiny lv100, it really felt like I was just juggling with timers rather than "cast uptime + encohian". For the first time, it wasn't fun.

For this tier tho I went back to BLM and tbh, I'm having fun. Sure, no more enochian/timer and it IS easier (no denying). But it just feels better. I think there's still plenty to optimise with transpose B3 requiring an instant (thus applying pressure on 3cast/SC, altough I'm positive this will be "fixed") and Xeno hoarding for burst phase (if there's some raid buff). Maybe (surely?) it has to do with the faster pace of the recent savage tier. I don't think 7.1 BLM would have been an enjoyable pick (to me at meast). M5S has 2 interupt which, as of 7.1, would have been REALLY annoying. M6S has jumps and the add phase etc.

However I agree that the state of AoE is just outrageous.
