Burst - Any Plans?

[charlemagne]

Well he must be casting in Full AF, cause my DMG @ low hp, w/o a crit is still very good. Maybe you guys need to invest in some INT Materia to up your damage instead of adjusting things,,

Most of our LS BLM sit at around 360-370 INT without food, many of us over 380.

I am sorry, I find that hard to believe, I rock 377 INT and I know Burst has some damn good damage outputs. If you can execute a Convert>Excruciate>Burst you will see some nice spike damage, even w/o the crit. I play BLM a ton, and I know Burst may have a long recast, but It doesn't need to be changed..

If you wanna cast Burst every min, go solo some leves..

Synyster. I believe you are the only person that believes Burst is a good ability in comparison to the other Fifteen Minute abilities. The rest of the forum want change.

As someone aforementioned making a space for an ability would help, an ability which lowered enmity on casting for 20 seconds, or increased damage of spells for 20 seconds, offered free costing casts. These would be more beneficial than a "Damage Spike" which is hardly a damage spike at all.

SynysterBlitz, stop acting like you are godsend with no equal in your blm skills. It is a very easy job to play and a very easy job to gear up. You can argue that Burst is strong all you want but the fact of the matter is that its a cheaper Thundaga that requires a lot more work to use.

Lol, a lot more work, rework your bars and macros then, cause I can execute it damn good, and yes I am godsend, thank you.

Do I need to tell you how much work it takes for the full effect of Burst again? Because Thundaga can be used without having to burn through all your mana and converting for the same(ish) damage. No one is saying Burst isn't strong, its just not special.

And please stop acting like a 14 year old. We don't need egos brought into the discussion.

Actually you were the one initially saying that I think I am a godsend, so I simply agreed with you, and why can't I have an ego, just because you're a 14 yr old with no self-esteem doesn't mean I can't be a little conceited, and you don't even know me, so you shouldn't make assumptions on ones character.. Stay on topic you damn troll.. or gtfo. Simple.

There is plenty of people who know your true character and childish ways. Part of me thinks you're being argumentitive for the sake of it, just because of the whole Linkshell Drama surrounding yourself the past week.

But that is besides the point. Burst needs tweaked slightly, either to benefit the party situation, or to output a slightly higher damage without the 20 seconds needed to get into that situation.

When did I say you were a godsend? Reading comprehension is a necessary skill in a discussion. I said stop acting like a godsend. I think you are just like the thousands other blms with a few double melds. No where in anything I have said points to my level of self-esteem in the least, yeah for grasping at cliche straws.

You are right that I do not know you but you have said enough narcissistic statements to clearly show what you think about yourself, or at least what you want people to think about you.

Careful Syn. Your head might not fit through that door. I forgot you were an elitist who thinks he's gods gift.

Regardless if you can execute it "damn good", it's damage is still laughable, yet you still provide no numbers or pictures to prove this "immense" damage that you can do. Don't forget Thunder -> Thundara -> Convert -> Quelling Strike -> Excrutiate -> Burst. That's quite a bit of MP and time to make that happen for laughable damage.
