Just gonna leave this here:


Least amount of clears in current extremes (by 25% less than the second-to-last job, Monk, and just a timid 4.1x less clears than Pictomancer). BLM has always been a niche job but it has never, since HW, been dead last. It's been bottom 3 a few times, but never dead last, and definitely not with this insane gap to the most played caster.
This job feels horrid to play. I've been playing a lot of pictomancer, and it's night and day. I just remember all those people who never touched BLM saying how accessible and "newbie friendly" it was going to become... yea, that's working out fantastic.
It's not just the potency either- this feels bad to play, like you're playing a job from HW but with modern encounter design.
DT being the death knell of this job wasn't in my bingo card, but I guess at least we have Pictomancer.
Genuinely sad about how this turned out. Enough 4am posting, I go lament the current state of job design in my sleep.
Yep. For context, BLM used to be about as popular as BRD, with BRD sometimes even falling behind on the rankings. Now BRD has 50% more players despite very little changing with the job in DT. While it's possible that a bunch of people picked up BRD, the difference is more likely due to a huge amount of players dropping BLM.
