How is BLM in new expansion?

[Kailii]

All I'm seeing is, "Oh no. BLM is too hard now, I'm going to switch SMN so I can do better dps and ppl will want me more." lulz to all of that. BLM is fine, you just need to git gud

My problem is more with enjoyment and that's separate from dps numbers. When Blm works, it works well. I find fitting in Fire 1s to be annoying, maintenance buffs are never fun. Whats worse is its a buff with no leeway. And that's the problem for me. The class is way different in feel now. I loved the old blm, and while I am warming to the new one, it isn't the same class I loved. I think that's a valid complaint. Maybe this makes me an idiot who isn't good at the game. Fine whatever. But I enjoyed black mage. Monkmage is...frustrating to play, and that's not a good thing in a GAME.
