Thread: Please reconsider 7.0 BLM changes

This is speculation on their intent, not confirmation.

Please see this Famitsu article from the media tour: https://www.famitsu.com/news/202110/13236998.html

In the section about Paradox, it specifically says that they extended the duration of procs so you can use them to "Trance" (transpose) and return with Fire Proc. They are definitely aware people do this.

I'm just disappointed in how they are approaching this. The best of both worlds is to just make any GCD in UI give you mana. Hopefully something like that ends up shipping on the release build.

I see, thank you for the clarification Eksu. It feels especially disheartening when such prominent voices as yours are still being flagrantly disregarded.
