A BLM proposal - Removing Sharpcast

[Zerathor]

It does seem kind of funny that fire3 went from the burst damage spell in arr

Wat. It was always just a tool for swapping to AF.

In a sense it'd be like lowering the skill floor but also raising the skill ceiling

No, this would only drop the floor down to a degree they would demolish our potencies to make up for the ease of play, the mobility, and additional damage we would do. People already know how to weave on blm and move with minimal loss. Plus by your system, it wouldnt change anything for mobility. People would just burn their stack on a t3p each UI to only need to hard cast thunder once in a fight, and to use on a f3p every 3 minutes for convert. and you'd suffer a noticeable loss if you didnt spend it that way, which kind of negates the purpose of this change for mobility.

Then there's the issue of how you toggle it. If it's a button that replaces sharp, it still remains a spell you'll have to weave unless you want to clip your gcd. If you leave it open to making 2 additional abilities for thunder (one casted, and one the proc requiring resource, for both t3 and t4) it'll add an additional button, without really changing much. Part of the fun with the current procs is figuring out the best ways to utilize what's thrown at you as well, or else this job begins to feel boring.

Blm feels like it's in the coziest place it's ever been imo. You shouldn't try to fix what isn't broke.
