It's a tweak that makes it slightly easier to play. But the ceiling and the floor are still a long ways apart.

But if these changes that allow more people to play and enjoy a job like Black Mage make you feel bad because you now feel less superior to those other players that struggled with it in the past, well, that's on you and I don't feel bad for you even a little bit.

But please, continue to whine about how you feel less superior to others because a job got a quality of life improvement.
Are you unable to give a normal sounding argument?
Maybe if you take a breath and stopped with the childish insults for a second I might be inclined to have a discussion with you.

Go ahead and read some of my other comments elsewhere and you might be able to see that:
A
I don’t mind the changes as much as others and even see some good things in them but with lots of room for improvement.
B
I usually am on the side of the more casual players even when I was still raiding.

But sure. Superiority and all that.

What skill ceiling is there exactly?
The opener? Triple cast in ice phase?
If you think the missing timer, shorter cast times and changes to thunder don’t change the entire BLM feeling just because you still press fire iv I don’t know what to tell you.
Go ahead and believe that.
You yourself said that you are only a casual player of BLM and you try to tell everyone that you know what the mastering of that jobs looks like and how the opinions of those people are wrong?

You are rude to everyone here who doesn’t agree to your points and write your own opinion as fact.
You aren’t worth my time and I am going to ignore you from here on out.
This whole discussion isn’t important enough to me anyway.
