Why are Black mages so upset about PVP?

[Zenfull]

I got into a long discussion with a FC mate about blm's in PVP and the interrupt buff they are receiving for the update. After running several dungeons with blm's and seeing 1600 crits i believe that like all mmo's blm's are going to be what they are and its glass cannons and you be well dead before you get anywhere close to them. Just because you are going to have to make sure that no melee is close to you hinders how fast you can burn down entire party's doesn't mean your nerfed!! you are going to have the ability from what i read in the update notes to get any ability like feather foot, blood for blood, stoneskin ect.. Am i wrong in this what does everyone else think.

I believe that crying about content that isn't even out yet is kinda silly. We'll see how BLM and all other classes do when servers go back up.

I am so mad that i wont be able to go in and two shot people before they get to me!

Eh, while I see both sides to this you have to admit that having a BRD in the opposing party will pretty much mean a BLM should never get off more than one spell per Swiftcast/Surecast cool down rotation.

That is kinda messed up.

Agreed, its total BS, i wish Wildstar would come out cause NCSoft would never do this to us

Just one more kick to the nuts of BLMs from SE. Oh you mean your job skills are useless, wait your gear looks completely idiotic, and now you are useless in pvp and we are nurfing one of your best pve aoe skills and giving it to everyone. Congrats!

I mean the only class that will be able to beat you in pvp is going to be SMN...

They have nothing to complain about, what they want to? Heavy armor?

Is the BRD going to focus on the BLM...or the healer?

Honestly, I feel there is a better job for mage-killing, specifically Casters, than BRD. Better burst DPS, stuns, new INT-killing skill, instant gap closer.

However, you BLM are safe for at least a few seconds...I'm going healer-killing first. If I get close enough to Spineshatter, whatever mage gets hit is gonna die fast.

I do agree that i'll at least have the time it takes for the healer to die to get some spells off, that's for sure.
