BLM Buffs Inc!

[Ragecake]

I don't like this Vivi Animus person. I believe he's a big part of the problem with the BLM community.

That is why I am always sceptical whenever someone claims to have such high DPS because from my perspective, I can never get it.

You know why you can never get it?

1. You play with a controller (which can bottleneck performance over using a mouse and keyboard).
2. You're a casual.
3. Can't accept those who are better.

It's players like you are the reason we're getting buffed for all the wrong reasons. BLMs should get a buff because the class needs it. Not because most BLM players are bad in this game.

In all honesty from MY perspective, as a BLM raider, 97% of the BLMs I come across (either on the SE official forums, on reddit, and even on my server) are a bunch of cry babies. It all started with Titan HM.

I do agree that anytime we have to stop casting to move, our dps drops as a rock. That is why you progress as an individual per fight to see how to maximize performance as a BLM (and any dps class).

Black Mage is good and viable for all content in the game. If you think otherwise then you're just a bad player and accept it instead of crying here on the forums.

Honesty is bad manners.

There is literally NO difference in using a controller over a keyboard. Even so, that has nothing to do with skill then. Especially not since the slow cast times. I also go Monk with my controller and sometimes push to 350 with iLVL 90 gear. That argument is invalid.
Yes, I am casual, and that does not mean I have room for improvement. Having a sceptical attitude is not an unhealthy thing to do.
I always claimed that BLM needs a buff because the class needs it. Not sure if you're being serious. What would make you think I am a bad BLM? I play with very good people all the time. I perform very well in sales, I am into top notch linkshells ...
How much proof would you need to accept that I am definitely not a bad BLM?

[ViviAnimus]

@ Ragecake, you have another very simplistic view. I outDPS my BLM on every single class I play. A lot of people say that the BLM needs a buff. You can see it when LF parties. Even Mister Happy his Legacy guild claimed that BLM is falling behind. I don't know if you're serious, dude. What do you want me to say? Oh yes, I outDPS my iLVL 99 BLM with my ILVL 90 DRG and MNK. I get 370 DPS with my SMN on T8 while doing 340 on my BLM. These are things that I have noticed. I would claim that I haven't been crying at all. It is because of people like you that we can't have nice things. That egocentric attitude bothers me so much. And about honesty being bad manners? Which proof you accumalated that would show that I am such a bad Black Mage? Through what deductive process do you come to such a simplistic conclusion? You say I might make BLM get buffed for all the wrong reasons. Tell me, what is the the right reason than besides falling behind every single DPS beside Bard (if he plays a song and IF the fight is not highly mobile). What is the right reason besides being only useful in dungeons? Please, do enlighten me? It seems that you are the problem, not me

I laughed, and stopped reading. But then I continued and instantly regretted it.

I honestly don't think so. I mean, I'm not unhappy we're getting buffs, and I'll accept them. I'm just like... why? We're just fine. Sure our single target isn't the best, but we make up for nice aoe. It's *balanced*. We make up for what other classes can't do as well as us, and vice versa. So yes, I'm being dead serious.

What would make you think I am a bad BLM?

The way you present yourself on the forums and the points you're trying to bring. Not to mention again, controller and casual.

I play with very good people all the time.

The definition of 'good' you present makes me cringe so hard, it hurts.

How much proof would you need to accept that I am definitely not a bad BLM?

It's too late. You've entered the point of no return in my book.

Please continue to plague the forums and the BLM community.

This conversation is over. I regret my debut on the official forums.

So basically, you said nothing. Using a controller says nothing about my skill but about a factor that might decrease my DPS. That is a logical mistake you make.
How do I present myself. Can you please refute the following claims:

- BLM's single target DPS is inferior to SMN, DRG and MNK. Also to BRD when there is a DRG.
- BLM's (good ones) score about 360 DPS with ilvl 98 gear on a target dummy while not moving
- Therefore: in highly mobile fights the DPS drops hugely while the other classes can DPS while moving + the other classes parse higher than a good BLM. A good DRG, SMN, MNK and even Bard will always outdps a BLM.

Also, BLM has very good aoe, indeed. If you read what I said, it's just a shame that in later content we never get to use it.

[ViviAnimus]

Can you please explain to me how using a controller (and keyboard / mouse) is causing a decrease in DPS? Do you honestly think that using a keyboard would somehow make me cast faster? On the contrary, using a controller is very fast pace.
And yes, it seems that arguing with you is - how cliche it might sound - like arguing with a pidgeon. You shit all over the place and fly away like it's a victory.
Instead of giving tips, being kind and so on, you use ad hominem after ad hominem. To make it even more funny, you talk to me about the way I present myself, I can only weep when reading your posts.
Lastely 'my definition of good, you haven't even heard, you have no evidence with who I play but make a deductive logical mistake (again). Indeed, please don't return
