DT BLM is a more rigid, worse version of HW BLM. A HW job cannot survive DT encounter-design. Ofc the team didn't think about that, because, much like a stubborn goat, they don't plan at all and simply want to have their way regardless of what the players prefer/what the encounters need.
I don't buy that. BLM still has a plethora of tools to help with heavy movement mechanics.

It's the same bad faith argument Black Mages have after every expansion. It's not that the mechanics of the new EXs and the upcoming Savages will be nigh impossible for the class, it's just a matter of learning to optimize your gameplay - the same as it's always been. Black Mage has always had the highest skill ceiling of any class and it isn't suddenly worse in Dawntrail. Potencies are not the only issue, but it is a core issue with the class right now.
