The speed buff we got helps a great deal, it's feeling more fluid now. Fights were never a problem, Blm has always required a learning curve and the most knowledge of the fight of all classes.
Still, the issues with Umbral Hearts remain, it's still not really worth using outside of opener.

I have a Rdm leveled to 70 and I must say, I find it rather boring compared to Blm, but that's just a personal opinion. It definitely brings a lot more utility to a fight, together with a higher mobility due to it fast casting every other spell. Numbers are also high, it's easy to play and not very punishing if you mess stuff up.

Personally, I'll always be a Blm, and I'm happy my static accepts that and doesn't force me to Rdm. I just love the feel of it, which we got back with the recent speed buffs. Simply hope they'll make UH more useful sometime soon, but rather happy with it atm.
In the end, you'll have to decide for yourself
