I'll join in your shout into the void. I loved BLM, it's been my main from the beginning when I joined 4 years ago. I loved the lore of BLM and the play, yes it was challenging but that's what attracted me to it.
I was disappointed with the changes but I wanted to try them first and see, so I waited till they were out and it felt absolutely awful! The short casts that feel meaningless, the fucked up muscle memory that was developed over the years, the half a second after each cast that you just do nothing, the boring one button rotation, the lack of satisfaction that you got despair in at the last millisecond and those orba that never go away just as a painful reminder that there is not timer.
It honestly felt easier than summoner. I'm gutted they ripped the heart out of my favourite class so I'm speaking in the only way they can hear and unsubbed today because I don't want to main any other jobs and if they can do it to all blm's without even mentioning it in the live letter then be it.
