BLM Post-Patch, and where to go from here.

snip.

No encounter in the history of this game was as rough to BLM as Golden Bahamut in UCoB during patches 4.X and especially p6 TOP.
Not sure how you feel anything has more pressure than that- it was extremely challenging to keep uptime and not drop AF in p6 TOP.

Regardless, all this talk of "pressure" that you're describing is subjective. The point of my reply was divining which "version of BLM" DT is like, according to you, because it's not HW and it's certainly not ShB either. Stormblood is probably the closest, but you had Sharpcast for movement and short lines (of 4x Fire IV after skipping Blizzard IV) were also used in some places, so that's also quite different from DT.
While EW was BLM at its most fluid, this absurd rigidity of DT never existed in the history of this job.
A lot of what you're saying can be construed for EW anyway- I can say it was much harder to weave ogcds in EW and that there were more of them, so it was more "pressure", whatever that means.

And this is the truth of the matter. We like different things for different reasons. I doubt any amount of digging into the why will satisfy you, nor do I think I could articulate the why with suitable clarity, so we should leave it at that.
