Disapointed of the BLM changes we could see so far

[Leika]

First of all, I would like to point out that you have to play the changes first before you can have an exact opinion on them, but I would like to address of a few things in the hope that they might find a way to SE before the patch.

1. Why are the cast times so drastically shortened? if i wanted to play a fast BLM i either socketed SPS or not now i don't have a choice anymore!

2. Why is BLM still in the game? Or whats the benefit from playing it? if you want to do damage just play picto and if you want a simple rapidfire caster you can play SMN why do all classes have to feel the same.
Please don't make all classes equally easy, there should be variance so everyone can choose what they want to play.

On a positive note, they finally fixed thunderhead, thanks a lot!

(I know its abit of a rant, but i love playing BLM so much and i love the game. QoL changes are totally valid and fine but not of the cost of core gameplay mechanics the jobs had)

Hopefully im not alone with this, and SE dont take this route further for BLM in 8.0
