    BLM changes overall are about a 3% buff

    I hate their actual design changes but the enochian nerf was the right decision in the context of the terrible changes

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    unfun, embarrassing, and kills the jobs identity to do it this way. Ive played BLM religiously since 2.0 and now i dont even know if i want to anymore because its just a detriment. picto is going to still be doing far too much in comparison because those nerfs were a joke. BLM needed to overtake it not be slightly marginally buffed and turned into a wet noodle machine gun.

    Done the calculation? as the ones I have seen on The Balance says this might be a mere 1% buff at best. And BLMs was already 5%+ behind

    This sounds about right, but because of the massive buff to flare star, the burst window can now have 2 stars and 3 xenos in it for rather large DPS gains, potentially boosting it above a raw 1-3% buff due to multiplicative buff stacking if you align things correctly.

    Honestly, the more I look into BLM's burst and 7.2 as a whole, the more I believe they're likely going to adjust how BLM bursts between 7.2 and 8.0. The level for optimization available is kind of insane, and is leading me to believe, in part, that the 7.2 rework to BLM is closer to Monk's 5.4 rework in practice. A quick and dirty realignment to fix a class losing players that will be bolstered with a rework later. I just wish the devs didn't have to kill caster gameplay off just to give BLM literally any attention.

    The most funny thing is : RDM will soon be the caster with the longest cast time.... But still far behind PCT and BLM in term of DPS.... Strange isn't it? XD

    RDM has the rez tax, that's why it will never compete with other dps.
