I... kinda don't like this :/
This would all make BLM considerably easier to execute, and it's kinda part of our identity now to be a job that's "easy on paper, hard on the field".
And I kinda like it, I've spent hundreds of hours mastering it x)
I'd rather either see these three:
- 600 more base MP (no longer screwed by slow ticks);
- 14s on AF/UI (exact same as the 12 we got in 3.2 relative to the old rotation) OR;
- A mechanic where using Fire with an Umbral Heart stack extends AF by 2 extra seconds (thus allowing us to go F4x2>F>F4x4);

We still won't have any place to comfortably put Thundercloud procs, but at least I'm neither at the mercy of mana ticks and can actually have some variance on my rotation to suit my needs.
