Thread: 3.1 Balance/QoL Request Megathread

I haven't played BLM yet in 3.0, but I'm guessing it all comes down to skills on this subject...

From what I've seen, BLM seems to be in a very good spot, just like you say, and it looks like it's more a case of BLM being a challenge to play correctly. At least compared to 2.X.

So to players out there, SE don't balance according to what an average player can do, they look at the maximum performances. They ofc don't want one job to be 10 times harder or something, but there are harder and easier jobs in this game, and that has always been the case.

-_- I also want to point out the only change I suggested for Black mage is Thundercloud giving Thunder Raiton's animation.

Literally.

I just want a lightning bolt.

I actually suggested Summoner Aetherflow refreshing Aethertrail duration. I ain't up in arms saying 'black mage needs buff.' It's really hard to be angry at a flare / ether nerf when you blast the crap out of something's face for 10k back to back.

Just clarifying. Arguing for the sake of arguing and all.

Yeah the explosion it doesnt doesnt feel satisfying. Maybe change that animation for Crits only? Make it really satisfying and feel powerful

Right? Just saying that the opening cinematic had a black mage flinging a lightning bolt into somebody's face.

Do want / 10

Hell you think it kicks blm in the balls what about ninja's lack of aoe and how do you think it makes us feel lol. Why can't my Katon apply a burn debuff to what it hits like in the job quest.

Funny, a lot of the requested changes/irks are people complaining that other classes can do things their class can't do and they want to be able to do it as well, then go on to complain about job homogenization in other threads.

I still desperately want MCH Animation Buffs & 10s to recast GB/WM.

We ESPECIALLY need the potency removed from Blank Shot. Way too many encounters we have to sacrifice that potency in our kit or it's a troll move.

I like the function of it, not the damage... we shouldn't be encouraged to use it to up our DPS.

I would love if Blank Shot & Foot Graze were combined into one.

Hot Shot should be made into an Ability so it doesn't consume Ammo.

Lead Shot should have an Ammo Effect... maybe same damage but in a quicker range-of-time so you can squeeze a couple Ammo'd Lead Shots into WF or something huehuehue.
