Black magic...kinda sucks

[Thela]

Like I said, I have played many a turret type job/class over the years. I can get behind wanting raw power...and frankly the BLM falls flat in this regard. The fact it is a 'selfish job' and still falls flat only makes it all the sadder.

I'm sorry but what? Sacrifice mobility for raw power is the premise of the job, and it does succeed at exactly that, raw power. I'm not sure how you can claim it falls flat when it does in fact provide the highest DPS in the game when done right.

I don't think anyone here will claim its a flawless job, it does have its flaws, but the things you list are just not accurate. It's fine you don't like the style, but the fact is that it is the highest damage job in the game when done right (for a single target boss fight, which is most of them), so your claims to the contrary are just inaccurate.
