I'm surprised you think Scathe is so useless.

I use Sharpcast Scathe as a finisher a lot. If I use Raging Strikes I can get pretty bad ass hits off of it and kill runners with low hp.

I mean, Fire 4 is not a shitty spell.

If you use Eq, LL and RS, you can get in like 4khits. SC Fire 4 and your at 8k.

Thats not shitty burst damage to me.

BLM just gets a lotbof hate cuz it can sleep/bind and nuke----and shut a group down fast.
