I'm not sure if this idea is posted elsewhere but I want to make this suggestion more noticeable to forum GMs.

I think current issue of BLM having Raise is:
1. It doesn't fit with the lore.
2. BLM Raise = virtually no mana cost. BLM doesn't lose anything with Raise except a GCD (with Swiftcast / Triplecast).
3. Triple casted Raise = OP!
4. Doesn't justify BLM having more DPS than SMNs / RDMs.

My suggestion is if you use Foul stack to raise (but with 8s cast time like other caster's raises) it'll solve issue 2.-4.
2. BLM doesn't lose anything => They will lose a Foul, which means a lot of DPS loss! Maybe even more than MP lost does from SMNs / RDMs.
3. Triple casted Raise = OP! => You can Raise once every 30s so that's not possible.
4. Doesn't justify BLM having more DPS than SMNs / RDMs => It'll still justify in the sense that you can only raise once every 30s and you lose a lot of DPS doing so (raising will hurt BLM more than SMNs / RDMs, thus justify more DPS in normal situation).

For the 1., the lore thing could be tricky but I'm sure you can fit this into the lore somehow.

I believe allowing BLM to raise will strengthen casters' identity more (casters = raise) while keeping the BLM identity and not allowing BLM to be OP (huge tradeoff).

What do you guys think?
