Potency increase for BLM makes BLM way too powerful

[silentwindfr]

As to people wondering about the DPS increase, here's some math.

There's a simple equation you can use to determine BLM pot/GCD (explanation here; if I got any of the numbers/casts phase wrong, feel free to correct me). Currently (2.1), BLM has...

(275 + .25 * 340) + (220 * .5 * .8333) + ((150 + 70 * .4) * 1.8 * 6) + (220 * .5 * .8333) = 2465.73 potency over 9 "GCDs" = 273.97 magic potency per GCD

With the potency increases, BLM has...

(275 + .25 * 340) + (240 * .5 * .8333) + ((170 + 70 * .4) * 1.8 * 6) + (240 * .5 * .8333) = 2698.39 potency over 9 "GCDs" = 299.82 magic potency per GCD

This means that BLM will see about a 9.4% (299.82 / 273.97 - 1) increase in total damage, which might as well just be a 10% increase.

this math is right, however, the number you get are quite different in real fight. i means, more higher the stats will be, more the effect of the increase of 10% will be important. and the magical damage of the black mage are already quite high, indeed the trouble of the immobility of the cast it's to take in account, but actually, in real fight... no one can beat a blm dps on fight of 1-2 minutes.

like i did said, the black mage is fine in BC2 now, but in the rest of the content, like dungeon... it's not the case, this increase can be seen and feel quite easily. since the fight are shorter the damage output can be quite impressive and i'm concerned that this boost that was only for 4 raid will have a real bad impact on the whole balance of the game. the balance of a class must'nt only based on the endgame that not the most important part of the game.

ps: i had experence of blm in dungeon simply chaining fire 1 of 1000-1300 (without critical, nor fire 3), it's impossible for any other class to reach this sort of dps in the soo little time...

Clearly, u haven't played BLM enough because u didn't realize BLM's dps is very RNG dependant and its usually +/- 100 dps range lol

Only drawback I've seen with this buff is that it's a lot easier for BLMs to steal aggro unintentionally in lower level content, where the buff was unnecessary.

If you have the correct gear for the content you are attempting, Tanks should have NO problem with aggro.

There is no way the RNG of procs should be making a 100 DPS difference in longer fights.

Why not?
A Thunder 3 Pro is arund 16-17 Dps and a Firestarter around 68 - 78 Dps. (with 0 crits).

If the dd's don't follow the attack order tank sets on low level dungeons pld is in trouble in the 30-40 gap, especially if you have 2 bards popping all their CD's and attacking different enemies(not including Quelling Stikes cause who wants to pop a CD that doesn't give you dmg boost?) Post lvl 40 though, then you should not have problems as pld with enmity. And if a warrior can't hold aggro, then theres something wrong.

No it isn't. Stop judging dps by the first 30 seconds of the fight.
