How is BLM in new expansion?

[ProsperoEmerys]

Until we see the raid, no one really knows how punished BLM is going to be for movement. That being said, if Ravana and Bismark (or a fair amount of the 60 dungeon bosses) are any indication, it's gonna hurt. Our single target is fine if we can turret, our AOE is fine, if a little boring now with weaker flare and the inability to flare from a mana pots anymore.

I think there's a a few fairly simple changes that would make it really enjoyable for most people again, without making BLM broken.

1) Extend AF/UI to 12s (15 if they were feeling generous). Yes, monk's GL is 10s, but they don't cast, meaning their refresh on their stacks happens at the beginning of their GCD, ours at the end. If you have to dodge an AOE, you basically have to sub out a fire IV for a fire 1 to maintain stacks most of the time. An extra 2 seconds on it would be -probably- enough to still keep our rotation on track. Not an increase in damage outright and doesn't really affect any lower level aspects either.

2) Extend the length of time we hold can procs like freecure where it lasts 15s instead of 12s. Then thunderclouds in fire don't die as often and firestarters for reversion back to AF3. A proc could be held longer for emergencies and movement and subbed for a spell we're doing anyway more often (eg thundercloud for thunder firestarter for fire 1/3)

3) This one is really just an idea I like, honestly not necessary, but I'd like to see the IV spells be AOE that do 1/3 potency to the surrounding enemies. That puts fire IV on the additional mobs under AF 3 at 168 potency, which is a little weaker than fire 2 at 180, but you'd hit one mob hard. Cycle targets so you don't burn one down too fast. Fire 2 to refresh AF stacks and enochian is actually involved in our AOE rotation instead of the way it is now where it's basically just a 5% buff and you debate whether the bliz IV cast to extend it is really worth the spell.

I really like new BLM, it just needs a little fine-tuning.
