Do you think BLMs will be altered in the near future?

[Skeith-Adeline]

I'm not saying I want this, I'm just wondering. If the new spells/abilities don't change up our formula, our class would get quite boring rather swiftly.

Also not saying we need to be changed. It just would be cool to see us do something other than Fire > Blizzard > Thunder > repeat. (not literal).

Don't think any of the classes will be changed fundamentally. they are mostly balanced right now and with 3 new jobs coming and +10 levels for the old ones it's hard enough to keep that balance. not the best time to alter anything.

I've read it somewhere in this forum with photos and translation but i cant remember which thread

That was a proposal from a fan/dev? that Yoshi-P didn't seem very keen on. It was not official as far as future development of the class.

I can imagine with time when other jobs are buffed, in order to keep BLM in line without too much change they might introduce sun/moon ice/fire etc debuffs much like naels from t9. Whcih may then force BLMs to adopt SS in order to keep the debuff up. I dunno its just my own speculation.

... what?

Maybe, you'll see some changes come 3.0.

But your formula would change due to the 10 new levels, regardless.

i would love to see a complete rework where elemental strengths and weaknesses were taken into account but i realize how completely unrealistic that is. I remember hearing something about how the devs didn't want situational gear like from FFXI to control this elemental thing but i think its a cop out because they wouldn't be forced to make a fire/ice/thunder staff or corresponding gear that needed to be swapped out for maximum effectiveness. (we can't even swap gear out mid battle anyways so not sure why that was even a thought on dev's minds) Create the system first and then make gear for it... not base your system off ffxi and assume that is the way you need to do it.

The only thing wrong with the Black Mage is there is no elemental wheel but that's more of a limitation of MMORPGS rather then the job itself.

fire and ice debuff from the dragons in t9 lol
