2.0: New Disciple of Magic or Spell Reform?

Give BLM 3 elemental stances so they can change their main damage focus based on the situation.
Weak to Ice? Use "Ice Stance". Now the blizzard line deals higher damage and can combo while thunder and fire get crowd control properties and thunder loses the damage capabilities. "Fire Stance"> Fire spells are now single target with a different combo bonus, thunder and blizzard for crowd control. "Thunder Stance"> what we have now.

Actually i think you got a great idea
"astral stance": gain access to stone aero and water spells
"umbral stance": gain access to fire thunder and ice
That way they could give all elements to blm again without flooding action bar

BLM would need to be reassigned to CNJ, CNJ would need to be designed around the stances, and THM would have to get redesigned again. /sign

That's a bit extreme. BLM is fine with only 3 elements but the issue here is not something that can be seen yet.
Right now there's no boss that outright resists thunder completely so the issue of Thunder being the main source of damage doesn't exist, yet. Now let's jump ahead and consider things like Ramuh... here comes the issue. In that case BLM is useless as it can't compare to anyone else with their damage and wouldn't be able to participate due to gameplay issue not community stacking certain jobs. Blizzard and Fire spells aren't good damaging spells compared to the Thunder line.
My idea is simply to allow BLM to pick their main element of choice depending on the situation and be able to perform just as well with all three elements when it comes to raw damage.
