Frustrations with BLM immobility

[Zairava]

What are you on about? BLM isn't summoner but it's more mobile than RDM by a landslide despite it needing prepositioning to optimize. We need more skill-expression in the other jobs, not less. Don't remove it from Black Mage

The reason I love BLM is their immobility and I wish they had far less movement tools than they do now. RDM is much less mobile than BLM which makes no sense.

If you think BLM should have fewer movement tools than it has, you must never have done ultimate.

It's all cool and edgy to be like "Yeah!! I want the class to be punished MORE!" until you realize there are fights that are so punishing that this line of thought makes it not worth bringing so no one brings it and people are forced to switch off. Take a look at the level 70 ultimates if you need further proof. Please keep this in mind.

This is also why all job balance/kit absolutely must be tuned for the hardest content in the game. Put a different way, if BLM only brings "high damage" but it can't actually do that high damage because of fight design/lacking kit, then not only is it not worth bringing mathematically, it also feels like shit. It is all around a lose lose lose experience, and it was frankly painful to watch during ALL of Stormblood.
