Well lets face it... when it came to some instances.... every job was stronger than BLM.

Even Bards were beating it in heavy movement mechanics dungeons.

But that had more to do with how fragile Enochian was... not the actual damage output of a BLM, it was so bad... all the other jobs (not just SMN) were beating it specific various instances.

This is why on the last page we were all talking about how good these changes were for BLM... specifically the Enochian unlock. It quite literally removes the limiters on BLM... and combined with the Thunder AoE buff... It covers some needed things from BLM in 3.0.

There is no need for "ebb and flow"... here.... you just needed a "flow".

They now have movement that won't completely wreck their DPS anymore. Even if they have to move... A single Fire 3 and right back to Fire 4's. No waiting anymore for something with a 60 second recast timer.

That was the important part... You don't need to break something else and create another imbalance, or you just end up in the same shoes you started in with some other job, and you'll be fixing that later. Smart play is not to break it in the first place.
