BLM needs a rework because of new content difficulty

[Galvuu]

Can we like... just get EW BLM back, make Despair give 2 astral heart stacks and buff Flare Star? That's all I want. That'd be perfect, really.

[Corwin_Sunchaser]

No. I would never think of Pictomancers as Selfish DPS unless they are stripped of everything party utility like a BLM.. And then if they also becomes as hard to play as BLM, it would be acceptable to have PIC be neck and neck with BLM, SAM. MCH should be even higher than PICs as they are more selfish than PICs. PICs are way too overtuned if they are to buff every single other job to even compete to them.

BLMs dont only need a big potency increase. But also some QoL changes to their new reworked spells as atm it is very annoying to play with Flarestar so easily lost. BLM in EW was so smooth to cast and use abilities, now its very clunky and busy. And VPR are getting changes as their job was busy xD

I agree with you on all account.

Saying that PIC is a "selfish DPS" when you compare it to a BLM or MCH… what a joke.

Btw why is MCH at the very bottom by a decent margin as a "Selfish DPS"? Competing with melees? Not even close!

BLMs needs to be able to handle all kind of boss fights, not only those with low mobility requirements.
Melees can’t do positionals on wall boss, then get a free pass.
BLMs can’t dps because the fight needs to move every 2seconds… too bad! And good luck if there is an add phase or a boss disparition!

Damn if only we had a way to shorten our Fire cycles without issues like Astral Soul depleting on umbral ice or not having the only valuable amount of MP coming from UI3 B4, like with a pseudo ice spell that is instant cast or having your MP regen passively.

It would be great to help us align for Manafont better.

Gee, I wonder if BLM will ever get that. (*sighs in cringe*)

Pct IS too strong, as Pct HAS utility.., ofc Blm is too weak too..

[Shiroe]

Blm Thunder needs a BUFF, as it will be used often as a movement filler, .. just double its initial damage for starters (so using if for movement, doesn't always feel bad], than buff Fire 4 (a lot ... lol)

[Shiroe]

take that back, dobt double Thunders initial damage, but add 50% more
(thought High Thunder had lower potency.., but still too often a dps lose for movement)

Picto need utility tax like summoner

Picto need utility tax like summoner

No, picto utility is minimal and it belongs up there with the melee. BLM just needs a buff to be back up top and picto perhaps a small nerf to bring below some of the melee.
Summoner has a rez, near constant instant casts and other utlity on top. Picto is not nearly the same.

[DarkZeroUnit]

so i miss thunder proc really bad please bring it back

also paradox only available to fire is silly

If PCT needs a utility tax, than so do MNK, RPR, NIN, and DRG because they all have party utility. MNK and RPR in particular have similar utility to PCT.
