BLM Buffs Inc!

Perhaps boost Scathe to 150 potency, but throw a 5-7s cooldown on it.
This way we have something that we can use for "short" movement phases, but not spam continuously, without crippling our dps.

Also make Apocatastasis into a self buff that increases elemental damage... so it wont buff scathe... by 20% for 20 seconds every 2 minutes, which would be an effective 3.33% dps boost.

Had a rethink how about if when u use firestarter you have a 15/20% chance to proc another?

Thoughts?

I can't speak for other BLMs but I want something to consistently help our mobility issue, something we can either save up in prediction or a CD to use on demand to counter movement's effect.

Do you mean that when you cast F3 using FS you have a 20% chance to refresh FS... Or that casting F3 using FS would have a 20% chance to double the potency of F3?

Black Mage just needs slight utility tweaks.

A) Give us access to Arcanist Raise. Every mage gets access to swiftcast, so it isn't like we'd be breaking the game by getting the nearly-best use of the cooldown.

B)Apocatastasis is utter garbage. It needs to change to one of the following
-A flat elemental damage reduction player-centered Raid Buff to justify the cooldown.
-Be given a mana cost, cast time, and cooldown removal to be a single target magical damage shield. Black Mages have some issues with heavy mobility fights, and having a way to survive one hit when doing a Raging Strike burn session would be amazing.

C) Conversion really doesn't need to be a three minute cooldown.

D) Let Firestarter and Thundercloud stack up to 2 times. Because waiting to see if it procs between spell casts loses far more DPS time if you hit a dry streak than chain casting and double proccing. Easy solution; Let us stack to two charges.

From a long time ago.

My 2cents...they will probably create buffs that is usable by SMN.

To be completely honest, the only buff SMN/BLM has is Raging Strikes.
I can not and will not consider Shadow Flare a buff in any way, form or function.

Because SMN has movement issues that lower their DPS by a significant margin.

Summoners have Quelling Strikes, Raging Strikes from Archer. They have two Pet CDs and Enkindle. BLM have Quelling Strikes and Raging Strikes and that's about it. Summoners don't need a buff.

Actually i have a bunch of cross class skills from my Bard i use with my blm, Quelling which is a must and also Hawk Eye and Raging Strikes.
Still anxious to see what buff they have in mind, maybe they will just have it so thundercloud and Firestarter have a higher chance to proc or deals more damage? dunno
