BLM feedback.

[LilyPendragon]

I've mained BLM since Shadowbringers, and it's the first time I'm considering switching off it. Black Mage now feels horrible to play, I'm going to wait for the apparent potency changes in 7.05, but as of now I'm considering the new and improved BLM opener:

Despair > Transpose > Pictomancer


BLM was wonderfully fluid and flexible in ShB and EW. Now it feels clunky, rigid, and unpleasant.

Its sad but I fear this "Opener" is what is likely going to happen. But I have played BLM only since I started 13 years ago. And if this mess isnt fixed ASAP, I think with Dawntrail is a new journey. it might be time for me to journey away from this game after all this time. I have never ever considered just giving up on XIV, but this BLM changes has pretty much ruined all the excitement I had for MONTHs for this expansion in just less than 1 week into the launch

It's depressing isn't it? I know Hanlon's razor states we shouldn't attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity, but it certainly feels like nerfing a class to get them to all play the new shiny one.

Maybe in 8.0 they should not make any new Jobs and rather spend all that extra opened devtime to focus on current jobs. There is more than enough Jobs as it is, and rather spend time make each of these more unique

Man, BLM got gottem, I hope the buffs are huge.

You can't fix this DT BLM design failure by just tweaking the numbers around. 7.05 isn't going to change much.

yup, I really hate new blm, way thunder works is very limited now. Before you could use thunder as movement fillers.

the only positive is that we do not rely on server tics anymore as wrongful server tics can screw you over, but with all the cons with current, I take the server ticks. I prefer it to be overall better, not just lazy and remake blm pre DT but damn

Nah, it's switching from Fire3 to use Ice Paradox, to switch back to hit Fire Paradox. Those 4 actions are the only rotation you need.
