How is BLM in new expansion?

[Urielparadox]

I have a level 60 alt BLM. Dont make assumptions out of your ass and make your self look stupid.

You just need to know how to play your job better !

I looked at your load stone it says smn 60, Blm 53. I never said anything about my ability nor anything about blm other then say that when your 60. And the guy you quoted is correct, you can't ever compaired a Blm dummy fight to a real fight, you also can't compaired 3 min parse to a 2min, they both need to be at least 5min long, the preferred being 10. So yeah don't assume. I haven't played smn yet but all my 60 smn friends just laugh how they aren't punished by the stuff we are.

Well, you were wrong, since I have a level 60 BLM. And I've done both the EX primals on both jobs and they both had pretty much the same DPS after I've done the fights with both jobs alot, with BLM even topping SMN sometimes in Ravana EX.

So again, maybe people just need to play their job better.

Also, where did I compare dummy parses ?

What numbers are those Summoner "friends" of yours pulling and on what fights ?

That's simply cause both of these fights aren't movement heavy. Seriously, in bismarck phase 2 i can just stand on the edge and turret everything down while picking my nose. Ofcourse you'll have good dps. Now put blm with some aoe dropping monstrosity and look at that dps plummet.

Well, once you get accustomed to the fights, you can plan for the AOEs.

If SE overeacts and flat out buff Black Mage potency again they should give Summoner Teraflare as a normal spell with 1200 potency and a 3min cd just to balance it out.

Do you pull these numbers out of a hat or do you honestly think a 1200 potency CD would have to be added to SMN if BLM got at all buffed?

I think BLM is in a fine spot for content right now. If Savage Alexander is at all like Savage T6-9 I don't think we'd see much BLM in high end groups TBH. Just speculation. We'll see what kind of mobility they need, or if they might change some timers here or there before then (still hoping for 30s Enochian refresh no matter what!).
