Another major problem that needs to be fixed is mana regen for BLM under level 76 and downtime. This will be the biggest hurdle that new BLM players will face when trying to level the job, as they may feel discouraged and confused when they aren't able to get back into the fight like every other job. having to spend more time casting lower potency ice spells that don't feel good to use in order to regen MP will undoubtedly turn people away from the job. Umbral soul will more than likely need to become an ability that is obtained at level 50 or before then. However, this also raises the issue that BLM would become more front-loaded in terms of gaining abilities, and may cause confusion or frustration to a newer player, and may make leveling feel more of a slog than before.

Before I end this post, I would like to type one more thing that I hope to see in 8.0 and beyond. Other jobs in the Dawntrail media tour have their repeated abilities (such as MCH Overheat) to gain different animations for essentially the same action. I would like to see BLM gain different casting animations and VFX for repeated usage of Fire 4, even if there is no real effect to doing so. I have been looking at this casting animation since Heavensward, I would like to see it evolve as well!

Thank you for reading, I hope you take this feedback into great consideration!
If anyone would like, please share your own potential solutions, or add onto what I have already stated if something that should be mentioned was not.
