Black Mage

[Altera]

Is it just me playing BLM totally wrong in PVP, or is BLM severly lacking there as well?
As we have no Scathe or anything to use on the move, and going up against others is so annoying as when i start casting something they run outta my range and interupts the cast.
MCH and BRDs seems to be monsters in there as they just chase me down, dotting me up even when it looks like i am behind walls or even way out of their range.

Astragalos as BLM is incredibly frustrating xD

With BLMs PVE situation, and if PVP is also messed up, I just plain consider boycotting playing my BLM main until they change the class for the better. I am also really enjoying playing Destruction Warlock, so if BLM remains in the state it is, I might end up doing the same thing as I did with Cataclysm and just give up on the game for a long time.
Stormblood is a really fun expansion so far, but my main class, is starting to become an exercise of frustration at the moment to the point I notice I log in less and less to XIV, and when I play a MMO, I play it daily :/

BLM can be strong in PVP but it needs good support, and in Astralagos the support is generally focused around the mechs.

Weren't healers OP for astralagos or something?

BLM on frontlines is really lacklusting now since Frontlines are about pushing and retreating fast. Same goes for Rival Wings, they're great to kill Machina and Mammets though. BLM burst in PvP is dependant on Thunder, gotta apply it, Fire IV twice to get the Thunder III ready. To move just keep alternating from Fire/Blizzard to keep enochian and buffs rolling and deal damage.

Seeing the chasm between Sfia's BLM and SMN dps on Ultimate breaks my heart...

1st, this is the older thread
2nd, we're still limiting our discussion to 3-4 threads vs the 10 smn threads that were around when they needed attention and the god knows how many Drk threads
3rd, we need to keep posting if we ever want our voices heard.

Apparently making more threads is the only way to get SE to realize "Hey maybe we should look into that." Mch is a perfect example of that. Too bad it still took them 2-3 months to actually buff mch correctly.
