For a thread that's meant to praise the new BLM, you don't praise it all.

I'm not part of the balance discord. I looked at once and went "lol nope". I've done just fine in extremes as BLM without needing to "optimize".

The 7.2 changes make BLM like everything else. I played it for a reason. It was satisfying keeping the timer up and dodging the mechanics. Now it's just spam one button because there should be no fail states ever, right? There's no tension anymore. And if you didn't want the tension, then there were other jobs. Nothing in this patch screams to me that we needed to get rid of the fail states. It I thought the raids were frustrating and unfun even going in as phys ranged for "constant movement". All I could think k of was how at least if I was playing old BLM, I could at least enjoy doing my best to optimize and figure out when it's safe to sit to cast my long spells and not.
