BLM ISSUES

I see the damage potential, and I understand we need to learn how to play the class again to a degree, but seriously losing enochian is way to easy to do or being forced to refresh it way to early due to fight mechanics or losing to much time dodging and thus losing astral fire. after playing the new content it can be very challenging to maintain not to mention it makes it nigh impossible to use other spells / procs,

it really feels like some sort of balance needs to be struck especially with raids due tonight, not asking or wanting the challenge to be taken away but surely something is a miss if we are blocked from using all our skills.?

manawall. why was this changed yet again.? it had a duration decrease which was fine but now its a % based defensive move, considering how squishy blm is considered to be a guaranteed nulifcation of 2 physical hits seems better than a % based defensive buff.!? especially considering BLM is not suppose to be tanking anything and so it should ideally be passive damage we can potentially block.

also physick, im not even in full 180 gear and have 10k hp raid gear will no doubt increase this further yet this spell now feels way to weak healing for 400 -750hp where as before healing for the same amount and having considerably less hp. I use to be able to emergency heal myself in a pinch and support healers in tough spots but now the spell doesn't even afford this utility. is this something that will be looked at.?

x-ethers, these are now totally useless, we cant even get enough mp back to flare again gimping our aoe potential. are the restrictions going to be lifted on these items to % only or are there new items going to be added to fill this glaring gap.??

with the 3.0 changes it feels like blm got nerfed in unintended ways while having a very strict dps rotation that is hard to break and so very restricting.

(sorry 52 page was to many to read through)
