Why so little class tweaks in this patch?

They should have increased the duration of Warden's Paean, didnt they say they would look into it? Its kind of weird they didn't, 30 seconds duration with a casting time its rarely worth using.

1 second cast time off the global CD with an MP cost of Esuna sounds fair to me ;D I want this ;-;.

You know, I would not have been upset if they made some changes to how Enochian and Astral Fire/Umbral Ice work. More specifically, make it so casting Fire IV/Blizzard IV didn't get interrupted if a buff fell off.

I've lost so many Enochian buffs because my Blizzard IV just wasn't fast enough to keep up with Enochian/Umbral Ice, and I've lost plenty of Fire IV casts to Astral Fire wearing off due to bullet hell boss fights.

Personally, I don't think it needs any changes. Would it be nice? Maybe. Is it necessary? Not at all. I don't particularly enjoy changes that are made simply to make it easier for some players. Sure, it's a little frustrating when the mechanics are against you. But then, BLM has always been about overcoming that.

Don't start casting Fire IV or Blizzard IV if you see you have <3 seconds on Enochian or Astral/Umbral Ice (and Swiftcast isn't available). Whenever this happens, I usually go with Blizzard III to refill my MP and start over. Learning to track timers and thinking ahead helps to keep your damage going out (which is better than it being cancelled and doing effectively 0 DPS for a few seconds).
