There's nothing wrong with being able to pull that with leylines up. It's not as bad as summoner starting a fight with 3 stacks of aetherflow and aetherflow being off CD
Regardless they have to do something with blm and movement and the typical opener consist of 6 fire IV. Repeatable every 3 minutes.

It is a significant single target DPS increase. I want QoL changes but I don't want BLM to be overpowered. I understand the fear of losing stacks and this would solve it but some situations where you do not move, you'd abuse it. I don't think it will work out and I highly doubt SE will give us that for this exact reason.

The other reason is our rotation would literally be F3 > F4x5 > B3 > B4 > Filler If slow Mana tick

A monkey would be able to do that easily. The fear of losing stacks is there so it's not a brainless job. This would get pretty ridiculous with a massive amount of Spell Speed also.

Granted you'd need Leylines to pull that but it is still too strong. It would put us at Monk/Dragoon single target level, maybe more.

Clean up the skills , Consolidate the effects of useless ones into ones that are used so we can free up some skill bars ( every class has one or two )

Op wishlist:

Monk: either lower the amount of chakra stacks needed to 3 or take it off gcd.
Make fist of wind passive because who uses it anyways ?
Add HP increase or HP Leach to fist of earth ?
Extend GL stacks by a few seconds ( so much easier to lose now with the new skills factored into rotation )

MCH: Ditch the RNG and just make split/slug/clean a normal combo , Adjust potency to even out dps

Give summoner or SCH an ability to summon group members to them ( seen this in a few other games and always loved it )

PLD: Shield Bash OGCD
Shield toss/ Tomahawk and Fracture shouldn't break combo , same for DRK's if they do can't recall.

Nin: Fix Mudra lag .. lol

Not so much balance but don't make us have to withdraw companion to enter Duty finder / personal instances ect

Monk:
Tornado Kick takes too long to actually "hit". Leave the animation the way it is, but let the actually attack be instant, so its not wasted.
And some wishfulthinking: Make Purification be able to be used while we have 5 chakra stacks but NOT consume all 5 stacks.

From what I heard, BLM is 100 years from beating BRDs in term of clunkyness. Worst scenairo is we have to sacrifire a F4 for F1 which is 180 Potency lost. Swiftcast can be used for that. I mean, I haven't seen a fight where a melee destroyed my DPS with movement.

The one thing we need is SE fix Enochian so it fits our CD rotation because Enochian is delaying everything right now. They need to make Thundercloud more viable in the rotation. I don't see us needing an extended Astral Fire.

To be fair, there isn't heavy movement fights in 3.0 right now. I have to move sometimes but it doesn't kill my DPS.

Although I don't think we need it, if MCH got reload on 45s cd. Oh me oh my.

Dream within a dream needs a shorter recast it's super lackluster for a 60 ability and does too little for a 90 second cd.

Can we not include another mch change thread in here. The suggestions presented are downright ignorant in terms of game balance. If you make buffs on the lines of some of the suggestions here, MCH will destroy everything on dps.
