Brd/Mch was fixed, will BLM be fixed?

[AnaviAnael]

One thing that occurred to me that non BLMs may not realize: Blizzard IV and Fire IV do NOT give you stacks of Astral Fire/Umbral Ice.

[Kenji1134]

Hmm... there's an idea...

Reduce all potencies by 20%.
Change the lvl 20 trait to +20% damage, and the level 40 trait to the following.
Increases the damage of all abilities by 25% after NOT MOVING for 0.5 seconds. Movement will not interrupt casting.

So we take our potency, lets say 1, reduce it by 20% = 0.8, and if we are literally not moving at this time, 0.8*1.25 = 1.
So when we turret we do full damage. OR we can move while casting, but do 80% of our normal damage until we stop again.

Actually, dont make this a trait... make it a buff...
Remove Scathe and make a buff called "Collected Under Fire".
Reduces damage by 20%, increases damage by 25% if you have not moved in the past 0.5 sec. Enables casting while moving.

BLM fixed!

Actually

It should be like Cleric Stance, cast on, cast off. That seems way too lazy to me, and other classes actually have to turn off and on their stuff.

The overarching idea would be to address the issue of "move = large dps and probable buff loss".
Lets allow BLM to freely cast while moving, all the time... but punish them for it, all the time.
If you move, you lose 20% of your damage until you stop and stand still for 0.5-1 second. You are actively trading mobility for damage... basically the reverse of BRD and MCH's new abilities.

If it was reverse, it would be 30% and not be passive. You would have to turn it on when your moving and off when you are not and take the 30% penalty regardless.

Cast times would be removed completely, and you would also gain access to ranged auto-attacks (at a reduced damage as well.)

Youll find a lot of non blm dont think from af3 second cast point. A lot of classes buffs dont rely on a secondary timer during their new glowy shiny buff .

Or if they have a timer its only 1 timer not 2 that if mis timed leads to a train wreck they dont have to wait 2.90 seconds to refresh said number or have it cast then fail because said timer dropped off before it can finish.

They dont lose 40-50% of their dps, monk has alleviates so as to lower or negate the down time.
Scathe more is not an answer, during heavens pillar and balls I B3-swift T3 and scathe as we group and move in. during orbs t3 b3 scathe and run.

Scathe is not fire 1 or fire 4 .

Spell speed? A lot of the better gear TOOK my ss away from me. I lost 72 for an arguable upgrade.

Ill post it in the feed back area though im not expecting anything tbh, I wont be jumping ship. If they dont up the times thats cool thunder upkeep will stay on the back burner for awhile.

But its whatever Ive said my piece.

I swear every boss has it out for me. "That BLM thinks it can cast Ley Lines during this fight. How cute!"

The one in Alex 4 will wait until you are low on Astral timer and then take you for a ride

[Warlyx]

brd and mch are far from fixed :P

[Psycofang]

If it restored af ui stacks it would have turned into a cheaper more powerful fire 1 blizzard 3.

That would be freakishly op, it should just restore 2-3 seconds on af per fire 4casted or just give a flat time buff.

Or go drg route and let enochian refresh without losing 5 seconds on maximum time allowed each refresh.
