fingers crossed than, that blm fix might come 4.12 or something, even if only a "fast fix" like increased fire potency...,

blm QoL fix might come later (losing enochian with fire 2 under ice astral, convert hp fix, etc.), if at all..

Ok, no insult meant, but I've seen this mentioned a few times already, but how does this issue even come up? I have a hard time imagining ever running into this problem.

It used to be a thing in HW. And while it shouldn't be an issue, I fat finger sometimes and boop, there goes my DPS for 20 seconds and any foul timer I had.

Ahh ok, my fire 3 and fire 1 buttons flank my fire 4 button so if I fat finger during umbral ice the correct fire still comes out.

with fire 1 under ice astral'

[Remedi]

That won't happen, you lose enochian the moment you lose either astral fire or umbral ice, they would have to change fire 1 and blizzard one effect for that which would in turn make trasponse useless

[Shiroe]

transpose would be an instant solution, ... where as if you have time to cast fire 1(or swiftcast + sharpcast / proc fire 1), you wont lose enochian / foul build up

[Remedi]

@shiroe Maybe but I won't be surprised if ppl told me to git gud about it tbh

[Shiroe]

its a general blm issue, casting fire 1 (or fire 2) while under any ice astral makes anyone blm lose enochian/ foul build up...

maybe I need to git gud too, complaining about that..., but it is annoying

One thing I also remember in 1.23 patch, was that Flare had a chance to put a Burn damage over time effect on the targets. How about make Umbral Hearts also have a chance for Fire4 to add a DOT as well as the 3 next spells used under Umbral Hearts dealing 5-10% more damage?

Freeze in 1.23 was also pretty good, had very decent damage, and was our Enmity Dump, and it had like a 90-120sec cooldown, and we didnt had to aim the spell manually.

I was also saddened in ARR that they removed one of our 3 Ancient Spells: Lightning's Burst which did more damage the lower HP the player had. It did an amazing amount of damage if Thundaga procced as well, and it had a whopping 900sec CD
This Low HP / High Damage kinda suits the BLMs style as sometimes we do eat a survivable attack with Manaward to continue DPSing.
It would also be PERFECT for use in O1S or any other raid boss that had like a ability that puts you to like 50HP. And if you had Thundercloud, Burst would guarantee a Critical hit. Low HP + Thundercloud + Long Cooldown = Massive burst damage
So yeaaaaah, please bring back ancient magic Burst
