BLM got far more then a bad aoe spell nerfed, the update to fire/ice buffs means our rotations will take longer, each single rotaton about 1 to 1.5 sec longer, and we'll loose the clip speed from the first flare on AE if we f3 for the fire buff +dmg. No one knows any hard numbers yet, but for BLM, I can tell ya we're holding our breath for sure. Some numbers being tossed around to about a 10 or 15pct dps loss due to the changes for us.
