On the topic of buffs for classes in 3.2, can we blms have our old manawall back?

(sorry if this is wrong spot, I assume this is a "suggestion")

I'm gonna get right to the point. Manawall is a joke of a skill now and offers nothing to high level blms. Every time I pop it I think to myself if it will even block the full hit of this boss that I aggroed off the tank or even protect me till they get rezed.

I figured that it must have gotten altered/nerfed due to crying in pvp with blocking LBs but in the PVE aspect of the game it was a party saver! I never heard anyone EVER say that blms needed it nerfed due to its 2 hit physical immunity. The move itself is not an OP forget everything ability, its a strategy!

If tanks are getting altered in 3.2, and AST getting a much needed move alteration, then I ask the devs of FFXIV to please! please! please! Give us back our old Manawall! (for pve content, I can understand the PVP side of things but a lot of moves have 2 sides depending on content.)

As I said, its a complete joke of a skill. I think about my time in HW about how many parties I could have saved, how many members I could have protected, the amount of healing I could have saved the healer from dealing with on accidental aggro pulls!
It takes away all strategy, all depth.

example: I keep thinking how I can help my tanks in A4S in the quarantine zone as a blm, I keep thinking that if I had my old move back I could actually save the tank from getting blunt resistance debuffs and tank the mob myself while the tank doesn't have to worry about the damage they will receive.

Its not just me but every blm who wants their old ace in the hole back. 2 hits isnt a lot but it can make a huge difference in life or death in many situations that go wrong in the PVE content.

I think that's exactly why it was nerfed...xD

But yeah, I rarely bother even using it nowadays because it became so useless. Never thought my favorite life-saver skill would end up in a bottomfeeder moves thread, but it did ._.

Tanking a mob/boss for 5secs isnt game breaking or even a mechanic skipper *cough* divebombs *cough*. I mean its nothing hugely game breaking that would alter bosses or fights in any major way that would affect time. This is exactly why we need the move back to the way it was before, so we CAN tank for a few secs. I always saw that as a strong ability in bad situations. I've taken many titan busters to the face back in the day while the tanks got revived and saved many parties.

True there, i saved many runs with that on titan ex when i take aggro after tank dies xD
Im sure it will also save end game runs and at the same time not being a huge deal as to be OP since is only a 2 hits thing like you mentioned
