Scathe

[Anhra]

Potency is not the problem.
The problem is when using it in AF phase, it will screw your MP pool and result in less fire 4.
If anything, they should make Scathe costs no mp and has cooldown on its own instead, maybe make it 2 charges.

A change like that would render BLM almost completely helpless in a 1vs1 scenario where you're fighting a enemy with alot of HP and serious dmg output (higher Deep Dungeon floors, for example).

BLM relies alot on casting Fire 1/Fire 4 into Scathe for kiting or to finish said enemy off when it is below 1% HP, so that you dont have to cast another 2,5sec Spell just to get the Job done.
