How's BLM looking?

[Kyouki]

BLM lost the ability to cure with physic, but got the ability to erase party members (not self). We got drain to cure ourselves, but that can only be done during a battle...

Usage of transpose sometimes kills the enochain buff...

Not happy with these changes...

The loss of heals really bothers me. I hate playing classes/jobs/games where I can't self heal. Any suggestions on a ranged dps class that can actually self heal?

Probably the red mage.

Drain is surprisingly effective, imo. Moreso than Physick ever was. In a desperate situation where I tried to keep myself alive with Physick, it would only delay the inevitable. Spamming Drain seems to be enough to actually get me back into safe territory, unless I'm just overwhelmed by several mobs (which Physick never would've helped with either).

This limited experience is only from a mildly difficult FATE, though, may not be an accurate representation. But, personally, it feels better. Physick scales off of Mind anyway, doesn't it? It would be near useless. At least Drain is affected by our main stat.

As for healing others, Erase does heal party members, at least. Mildly disappointing that I can't randomly drive-by heal some newbie struggling, but no big loss.
