But still, I press "K" and I see all those useless spells: Sleep, Scathe, Blizzard 1 (who uses that past lvl 40 ?), Blizzard 2, Freeze, which could all have a real utility no matter what level you are.
The thing is, a lot of people don't realize the issues with BLM's rotation at end game which doesn't make it fluid - mana ticks/B4 skipping, thundercloud procs (not being able to use them in certain parts of your rotation and having them overwritten) and unreliable scripted OGCD usage without losing DPS. Clipping can be really awful, and B4 really lacks power.

They can easily be fixed, but it begs the question - does anyone at SE actually play the class to a high level? Because this was all stuff that was commented on when 4.0 dropped (and in some cases, even before that - with the B4 skipping only becoming realistic in 4.05).
