Thread: Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

good BLM players know how to deal with moving around for mechanics instead of complaining about their lack of mobility

Dunno. I've raided with BLMs before, its always "i'm not moving for whatever reason everyone adjust to my needs".
They did good numbers. Also they made me want to kill them xD

Its half and half. There's certain mechanics that are optimized to maintain uptime as much as possible, but there's also some that don't need much optimization and can simply be done with the existing tools of the class as well as preparation.

BLM sometimes need the group to position right so they don't have to move to optimize. This makes a lot of BLM act like this for everything which is wrong. Also the BLM should think on the group as well, the strategy shouldn't only favor them but should favor everyone as well on top of helping their positioning. People playing BLM and not thinking about the team and just not wanting to move even when they can move just piles up into the "we hate BLM" thing you commonly see in PFs. Myself included, I honestly dislike having BLM players I don't know in my pick up groups at PF. They are usually really bad.

God, I couldn't agree more. I also feel the same way with Melee up time. I know it's optimal but still, I hate melee that get so arrogant about their damage when literally every strategy to deal with mechanics is always in favor of melee. Even as a SMN, who can still dps while moving, I do lose potency while using Ruin 2 over Ruin 3. It's not drastic but I do get annoyed how SMN/RDM is just expected to pick up the slack for mechanics for Melee/BLM.
