BLM Suggestion

Enochian Suggestion:

Enochian is no longer required to cast Fire IV or Blizzard IV.

Enochian has been changed to a trait which has a chance on elemental damage to change Scathe into the more powerful instant spells Conflagrate, Shatter, or Burst.

• Conflagrate - Deals 150 potency of unaspected damage and afflicts the target with Conflagration, causing your Fire spells against the target for the next 12 seconds to increase the damage of the next by 10% of their damage dealt, but increasing their mana cost by 15%.

  For some really, really big final numbers, especially if Fire IV crits chain.

• Glaciate - Deals 150 potency of unaspected damage and enhances Blizzard I and Blizzard II with the Shatter effect, causing your next spell dealt while Heavy or Bind is still active to automatically critically strike.

  Prep CC targets for 1-hit KOs.

• Burst - Requires a target affected by Thunder I, II, III, or IV. Consumes the remaining damage of Thunder on the target and any enemies within 6 yalms to deal their full damage instantly. If available, will consume Thundercloud and add its periodic potency to the damage calculation for the target and additional enemies within 5 yalms.

  As strong as Foul, but used as a finisher, since it won't have DoT damage.

  This provides a fairly powerful mobile tool. It is not, however, a substantial DPS gain in itself except under specific scenarios, allowing it to be held for periods of necessary movement.

Related Changes:

Polyglot now follows its own (new) gauge, allowing Foul upon reaching 100. For every second spent under AF/UI, the Gauge charges by 1 per stack of AF/UI. Each time you swap between Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, you generate 5 Gauge.

Time to charge should be basically unchanged.

Additionally:

- Ley Lines and Between the Lines now share the same hotbar slot.
- Fire IV and Blizzard IV now share the same hotbar slot.

- The Black Mage may now receive mana and mana-cost-reducing effects from other sources during Astral Fire. However, natural mana regeneration is still impossible.
- Umbral Ice and Astral Fire levels I and II now benefit a third and two-thirds, respectively, of level III’s effect on the opposite element’s cast times.
- Mana regeneration during Umbral Ice no longer follows the global tick. It ticks once every second, scaling with the Black Mage’s global cooldown.
- Upon shifting into Umbral Ice, the first tick of mana now occurs instantly.

- The cooldown on Convert has been reduced from 180 seconds to 120.
- The potency of Scathe has been increased to 130.

- The damage bonus of Astral Fire has been reduced to 20/40/60%.
- The potency of Fire I has been increased to 200, up from 180. (Resultant: 320, down from 324. -1.3%.)
- The potency of Fire II has been increased to 100, up from 80. (Resultant: 160, up from 144. +11.1%.)
- The potency of Fire III has been increased to 270, up from 240. (Resultant: 432, unchanged)
- The potency of Fire IV has been increased to 300, up from 260. (Resultant: 480, up from 468. +2.6%.)
- The potency of Flare has been increased to 300, up from 260. (Resultant: 480, up from 468. +2.6%.)

- The potency of Blizzard I has been increased to 200, up from 180.
- The potency of Blizzard II has been increased to 100, up from 50.
- The potency of Blizzard II has been increased to 270, up from 240.
- The potency of Blizzard IV has been increased to 300, up from 260.
- The potency of Freeze has been increased to 200, up from 100.
