Easy Black Mage improvements!!!

Well Monks just got a duration and 2.36% net damage increase... So I do not see why it would be so unreasonable for BLM to get a buff duration increase to the same 15s?

Some argue that the reason Monks got the increase was that the buff is applied at the start of the gcd, so it is "effectively" reduced by the duration of 1 gcd... BLM would LOVE to have that problem. =P
BLM has the reverse problem. Buffs are applied at the end of the gcd/cast, and IF you fail to finish the cast before the buff falls off, you are screwed, we are all aware of this.

You know, back in the day Yoshida said that BLM was his main... I get the feeling he switched over to DRG for HW. =)

I do agree with you there, I believe he did, similar to many who also did this expansion. Still he could really show us some love, since he use to wear the black.

Start of the GCD or end of it comes out the same either way. The reason is that monks take 9 GCD to build their buff and 3 to refresh it. BLM takes 1.4 GCD to build it and 1 GCD to refresh it.
