Holy and Flare diminishing returns nerf

[Twilite]

that's why I quit playing mages. SE seems to hate DoM for some reason.

in other MMOs, mages do highest damages because they have a trade off that they have the weakest defense, lowest HP, etc. In FFXIV mages are weak in defense and now will be weak in offense too.

Flare and Holy are situational.. and were really mainly used for speed runs.. Considering at most, you can cast three flares, unless you wanna gimp it with Umbral Ice, you have to go through 3-4 slow as molassis Fire IIs first. BLMs are still deadly while in Astral Fire III, and SE has no reason to nerf the other spells. I don't know about Holy, but Flare doesn't define the BLM job. It's not the end of the world.
