Should Lucid Dreaming change for BLM?

They're more likely to remove Lucid Dreaming from the Caster DPS pool, and make Manafont a role skill for them instead.

Personally I don't think they will change anything. Lucid Dreaming works perfectly find for summoner and red mage (and healers). It's superfluous for BLMs, but it hardly hurts them, and they don't even need it.

Also as for turning it into drain for them, that would effectively just be a second manafont.

I honestly do not have this on my bar as BLM. Convert is faster and doesn't even cost HP anymore. Lucid has zero use for BLM unless you popped convert already and let AF or UI drop and can't use transpose (especially in lvl 80 content where you don't need MP to switch to UI). It's only real use was as an aggro dump and now it's not even that.

I assume the only reason it's available to BLM is because BLM is a caster job. For RDM and SMN it is really useful, though I don't really see them bothering to change the effect.

I do miss manashift though.

Honestly, i dont see why BLM cant have the old mana shift ability, as a fluff utility for raids, or whatever. Esp in umbral phase, give em ressurected healers their MP. Shits so situational, they dont even need to nerf BLM dps to be fair, just give them their utility ability and go "see? DPS are all balanced now"

That's not entirely true, especially at level 80. Yes, RDM *did* have a spot of horrifically shallow manapools, pre Shadowbringers, but I've rarely had to touch any mana regen skills at all during this entire expansion. And that includes the offhand rez and heals I've casted in a pinch.

This would probably be the best solution. RDM and SMN would still have a way to get MP after getting raised or raising others a lot, but it wouldn't be a useless skill for BLM. It would be like Invigorate for melee DPS when they still had TP.

Caster MP seems like an oversight now. It doesn't feel wrong on healers that the MP refresh skill is am MP regen, but for casters it's not really necessary. So keep Lucid Dreaming for healers, but give casters (something like) Manafont.

Only if using Verraise more than twice in a minute. Otherwise even without Lucid Dreaming, you won't really come close to being OoM for quite a while.

Nah man, a dead RDM after just popping Lucid is the most Manaless caster around Eorea lol its not fun at all
