About the LB, i was comparing it to other LBs which are mostly instantaneous, and doesn’t make you an obvious target. The LB is closely tied to BLM kit so it takes a lot of time to get the full value from it. 15s is pretty long to get it all out, so i think 12s or so should be more fitting for the speed of the game. Going faster and stronger as a trade-off for being a squishy Christmas Tree is kinda interesting for me.

About Foul though, i think its in a good spot after the 6.11 potency buff.
Agreed. Fire isn't competitive with ice. The potency of the Burn dot is nowhere near high enough to compete with the utility of Deep Freeze.
Low potency sustained damage is only good for padding the meter, outside the very niche case of pulling NIN out of stealth.
If Fire stacks increased the potency of the dot instead of the duration, you'd have a legitimate situational choice to make.
