Frustrations with BLM immobility

[Taranok]

Honestly i don't know what you mean. BLM is more mobile now than ever before. At lv90 you can literally cast 6 spells instantly WHILE moving, plus aetherial manipulation AND your lines if they are active. For the latest extreme available, BLM is easy to move. You can move faster than any SMN.


Yes, you will have downtime and you will need to stay where you are but it's not like SMN has their primals all the time. Learning when you can and when you can't exploit your mobility is what makes you a good BLM.

My response to this is simple. I didn't become a black mage main because I like doing movement mechanics all the time, crossing the map over and over. Or, to put it another way, TEA has less movement (during uptime) in its entire 16m fight than the 2 minutes both leading up to and including purgation in P7S.

BLM may have a ton of movement, but it's overwhelmingly the least satisfying gameplay I've ever had on the class. Especially when you take it into something like DSR and realize you just, flat out, full stop, don't have enough movement for the mechanic, no matter how much you save them.

I miss when the devs designed fun fights that challenged all roles equally. I want Stormblood and Eden tier 1 fight design back.

Welcome to Meleewalker, where the balance between job difficulty and fight difficulty has completely fallen off a cliff so now they need to make you run zigzag patterns across the arena every 30 seconds to avoid instant wipe mechanics, just so you don't turn your brain off.
