How is BLM in new expansion?

I disagree with the first point. In the first Rotation, you can use F3 > B3 > SC B4, in the second Rotation you can F3 >B3, let Enochan fall off and reactivate it after switching to AF3 again. Because of the F3 proc, the Rotation is longer, so there's even less CD on Enochian.
How it affects total dps is something we'll have to see.

The couple of times in Ravana, when I've been able to start my first Enochian rotation with Firestarter, I've been able to do 2xF4 - F1 - 3xF4 easily and without worry of Enochian dropping.

I disagree on that SC usage. SC is much better used to move around. It should be used for B4 only if you have to. It shouldn't be used to make your rotation longer. The way you are suggesting SC only works on a dummy and fights are dummy fights, you move around. You'd rather use your tools to cover mobility.

This would work if an AST would give you the MP reduction card

It always depends on the situation. You have to rethink your rotation when you have to move, when you have to burst, or under special circumstances like Ravana's increased damage taken during Liberation. If you know that there will be a period where you can turret, you might want to use SC to increase damage rather than saving it up for situations where B4 might fall off.

It also works fine if you have Ley Lines up, you can use your procs and still be in time for B4 even without SC.

You have to rethink your rotation when you have to move

No. First of all, you have to meld materias on a crappy iLevel piece. You lose so much Int just for that extra Piety it's just not worth. And you'd put Enochian at greater risk? Not worth. If you'd use an accessory, you'd lose 9 Int to get that Piety. You wouldn't get more off-stats. Do you really expect to keep SC for every single of them when it could be use to save a F4 during movement.

Q8. Maintaining Enochian is really difficult. Are you planning to change this at all?

A8. We’re planning to make adjustments so that you can overwrite the extended effect when you reuse Enochian again. With this change it will feel a lot different. Additionally, we may make slight adjustments to the effect of Thunder while under the effect of Enochian since there is not much of a use at the moment.


Well, at least a few fixes

Q40. Do you have plans to increase the potency from potions and medicines to match the level cap increase?

A40. Currently the recast and the effect isn’t matching with the level, so we’re planning to make adjustments.



Potion flare comeback?
