Loss of drain on Blm...really?!

[YanderePrincess]

Im really upset the loss of this skill.Drain has been a spell in the blackmages repertoire since final fantasy one.I cant count the time this skill saved me in a clutch in a party situations when the healer is busy to heal myself really quick some to keep dpsing and in solo situations.If your damage was really high you could triple cast and top off to almost full hp.I remember the fight with the Blackmage chick in the steepe in stormblood,the one that has many phases,that was only possible with blackmage because of drain.So how will blm sustain his hp in clutch emergencies from now on? this is a big nerf that no one has mentioned but when you start doing stuff with blm youll feel it.Just because some people didn't use it at all dosent take away its value.

To be fair, Drain didn't exist in this game until Stormblood. Granted, it was nicer than having a cross-class Physick based off mnd stat.

yup way nicer than the physic XD.i would still pop a physic in emergencies but it used to heal so low almost never bothered ((in a real reborn abit more cause hp maxes were lower)) been playing blm since 2.0

Yeah. I mained BLM in 2.x, and actually saved my party sometimes with Physick. X3 It was definitely less problematic pre-50 when you still had MND on your gear, though. I think we'll be okay without Drain, but it definitely came in handy occasionally.

Yeah totally agree we will be alright.I just find it distasteful when little tools are removed without giving something comparable back ((even if its a tad different but does a similar job)) like maybe a toggle that made ur next spell drain some of the damage done to life back,and give it a cooldown so it isn't broken
