Why Freeze is still 12s root when tribind is 6s?

[Nidelia]

Seriously I don't get it. Blm has already massive cc abilities, smn had one (add pet stun and bump if you want...) and they nerfed tribind because it was "too good". But freez is even worse thanks to the centred on target macro and the fact that you can still position it how you want if needed (not even counting that a 12s root is no matter to joke so you kinda want to depuration it... Owww now you sleep 12s and can't do anything) and kept the 12s duration.
Does it simply because smn was under uproar and blm not that Freez wasn't nerf? Or dev have a legitimated reason to not nerf it?
Because I was thinking that tribind was nerfed because it was a "spammable" aoe root but another skill which can do that is still as op. It makes me clearly think that the tribind is an arbitrary nerf. Nerf both or nerf none, but the actually situation is cleary unconsistent

My guess is that they don't want us to play SMN :T

The nerfs to SMN were too extreme as a whole anyway.

It's pretty unfair tho. Same range, same radius but different bind timer...

[Ashelia_Ferron]

Probably because you can't dodger Tribind, but you cab technically run out of the Freeze AOE circle

A possible reason: You can 3D > Bane > Bind on SMN and let 'em just sit there while still receiving damage. On BLM you can just bind. Try to damage? You break their bind.

The same reason Repose and Sleep are balanced differently. They're trying to take the entire skillset of the job into account when balancing.

(Not saying this is true, but it's a reason I find plausible)

Nerf both or nerf none, but the actually situation is cleary unconsistent

Two completely different jobs. If you want consistency, ask for all SMN spells worth casting to have a cast time of 1.0-1.6 GCD. Ask for removal of all damage off GCD from SMN. That makes things consistent.

because according to dev team, SMN is "exceedingly overpowered" while BLM somehow flies under the radar

The community has cried about SMN being OP since Sieze was introduced.

SE brings a Kleenex.

The community is now crying that SE wiped their tears.

They recently nerfed sleep some more as well as nerfed the ability to artificially increase the spell casting threshhold. How is blm flying under the radar?

Because a SMN killed Yoshi-p's cat and he swore vengeance.
