Basically they're the same Augmented items, you just get to buy them straight up for the same total poetic cost and skip fiddling around with Glazes and Twines and multiple NPC's.

However, it seems they forgot Rings are unique and that buying one augmented and one regular was the only way to bypass that. So now you can only use one poetic ring, which is indeed a nerf.

BLM is far harder to master and optimize than RDM. It's not even close.

BLM is very reliant on knowing the fight well and having a plan mapped out. Seeing the fight on an easier class and becoming familiar with the pattern for mechanics is obviously beneficial.
