How is BLM in new expansion?

[HaroldSaxon]

I've been playing black mage for a very long time now and i We're basically a stationary monk with 2 greased lightnings to keep up, that's just awful given the cast times and heavy movement in endgame content.

If only we had Monk DPS.

The timings of Enochian and Astral Fire/Umbral Ice are too long (considering the 3 second cast time of F4/B4).

I like the idea of it, but they've messed up the raw numbers and the timings. There's no reason to go BLM over SMN right now, and if its purely single target and no "Magic only" mechanics, just go 3 x Melee.
