Black Mage Raise Ability

[MelvinK]

Again the issue is the meta itself bringing physical melee composition and 1 caster. The issue is there can be a SAM or BLM only. Like i said if square enix buff embolden to include magic dmg party buff im sure people will start exploring double caster composition

[LunarEmerald]

This is a bad suggestion and you should feel bad.

[Rinuko]

Frankly I think they should remove it from SMN and RDM (tho RDM will always have it for lore reasons). Raising is a healer issue not something for DPS

[Gwaeron89]

Healer cannot raise anyone consistently unless they keep swiftcast to do so. And if they use swiftcast on it they cannot use it for more important thing like aoe healing.

I don't really overstate anything, there's a huge reddit topic where top tier raiders already stated how absolutly mandatory rdm battle res is for any kind of fast progression raiding. For non top tier raiding its actually even more important considering how often people dying.

And that "situation will not happen" doesn't matter at all because at the point where composition and battle res is not required anymore all content is already cleared and made irrelevant. Who cares if farm praty can take blm or smn over rdm, when there's no more challenge to take.

So i guess we just wait till 4.1 hit and see..

They didn't said it's mandatory, they said that it saved them some pulls, but you have to consider that from their perspective they need to make the most from all of their pulls, else some1 else might snag the kill before them.
The average joe position is much different, you might res even the whole raid 10 times during the fight, but at that point you are more than likely to meet enrage so I ask you this, once you know the fight and you are aiming for a kill what's better? wasting 10-15 minutes and wiping to enrage or starting all over again to have a better shot at it?

[Kaalia_Stormborn]

We don't need a res, we need our Fire 4 potency increased by way of Umbral Hearts so it makes Blizz 4 viable in our rotation outside of the opener and convert coming off CD. A debuff applied with Thunder would also be great.

[Konno_Aiko]

No just no if I'm raising people I'm not doing damage. Need to keep those fire 4's going to get to foul

[RuneSevalle]

I don't want rez. We are not getting rez. STOP asking for rez.
You want something to ask for to make BLM better? Ask for Aetherial Manipulation to just go "x distance" in the direction you're facing instead of needing a target.
Ask for Umbral Hearts to add ~5% damage to Fire IV casts. Ask for ANYTHING that actually fits BLM, not just getting large "rez envy" over the FOTM class.

TL;DR: Any BLM asking to be able to rez needs to be taken out back and put down like Ole Yeller.

[Shiroe]

agree, blm should not have rez as utility..., blm could use other utilities instead, like a magic vulnerability dubuff..

or a special rez, that will only be used as a calculated last resort / calculated own risk:

=> blm dark magic "zombie rez", rezed player has either

1) an increase damage take debuff (takes more damage) + increase damage output buff (has more dps)

OR 2) a decreased damage take debuff (takes less damage) + decreased damage output buff (does less dps)

either zombie rez buff 1 or 2 can apply on the rezed player for a limited time, it's RNG whether 1 or 2 happens, ... but might be worth taking the risk, depending on the situation or fight, .. but not ment to be used like a healer or rdm rez..

[Genis_Elric]

BLM is the most selfish class. We literally take our own hp and turn it into dps. Why would we waste that previous mp on rezing somebody else?

I just want to watch the world burn.
