Why is BLM getting a buff?

not just brayflox, coil too.

I guess those people are stupid? Players do bads thing enough to support any position if you see then as a authority on class balance (they're not)

[Gardes]

If a class joins and fills a slot and then leaves/gets kicked out, the slot will be empty again but the class required will be locked to that class (bug/oversight?) even if that slot was previously all classes. So it's possible that a blm tried to join and got kicked out lol.

Unless you're talking about t4 then I guess blm would be great there but there's only 2 aoe heavy phase out 6 and the aoe part isnt even that important, not even before echo. Monks can fall behind on these 2 aoe phases and shoot straight back up if he knows what he's doing and never drop a stack.

I think I better start whining that the classes I play all need buffs, as apparently they give in to that. Also I want all stats on all my gear, and to never ever have to move in a fight. In fact, just let the fanfare play the second I enter the instance.

Talking about "They gonna looking into others jobs and adjust as well"

SMN here only need 1 thing, I wouldn't ask like "Hey please increase Pet dmg bullcrap or Hey please make Enkindle Potency increase to 1000 please or Hey please make ....... stronger bla bla bla"

Please give SMN MP buffs to 4000 and everything will be solved

MP 3000 is way too low compared to others caster jobs (Healer included)

Another 1000 MP is not gonna make SMN OP

I play a BLM I main BLM. I understand where the buff is coming from but other then fire starter being fixed I don't honestly thing BLM needs to be buffed. I am 9/10 the highest DPS in the party. Even in movement heavy fights ie Levi, Titan, Twin... I see most BLM's who don't play the job to the full potential of the class. Such as stoping their spells to use a firestarter, not using transpose or scathe when moving, little things like that. Is it just me that's doing this good? Or do other good BLM's honestly think we need a buff?

I agree with Firestarter fix being only big need BLMs need. Maybe making it able to stack to 2 or 3 to make us not lose around 25% of our procs? And maybe even being able to save them for when we need to move :P

I don't think anyone here who has cleared the Second Coil is saying BLM does bad. It's just that on certain fights, like T9 which require almost constant movement, BLM suffers when compared to exceptional SMNs, MNKs, BRDs, and DRGs.

BLM should not have good single target damage. Its already far outshining all jobs in AoE damage. Thats what BLM is for... AoE.

Sadly in this game for serious relevant content: Single target DPS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Standing still doing nothing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AoEDPS

It is indeed a fair tradeoff as it stands now, isn't it? Being good for doing outleveled content 5 min faster but in turn not being viable in any actually progressing content and forever locked at iLvl 100.

I don't use a parse but a can't honestly answer. But last time I checked it was like 355-360 ish
But that was before I got any sold gear so I don't know what it is now
