My wish for 8.0 BLM:

Make Fire 3 greater again: I understand, that Flare became the main aoe attack. Its a stronger fire spell and make the rotation faster, to only use it (esspecialy with flare Star as finisher). But, it feels weird, that even high fire 3 is only around 80 (have forgotten the Real number, but shouldnt be much higher as 100). And fire 3 (as original aoe spell) is even weaker.
It feels, as if it should be stronger for the lower lvl.

Bigger change: Give us a direct rotation and not a "1 Button class".
My biggest critic again the blm is, that whe press mostly only fire 4 and a few spells in between (ok, healer are in the same situation). I wish for a bit more variation, similary to the meele DD. Or, how the picto is (or was he a 1 Button to, hasnt played him for a longer time). Give the fire spells more variation, as beeinh only a thrown fire ball. Lets fire 2 be a more clearly fire pillar, that comes up (pre-form of paradox). Maybe, give us a line attack, where whe shoot a fire stream or lightnings a straight line and attack all in it (similary to thunder spell in dnd or Palpatins unlimited power).

Than, could the ice phase be extended more again. It feels nice for the moment, that whe are mostly fire mages. But it is a bit again the lore of the blm. Maybe let us build up other ressources to in the ice phase. And, give us more variation in the spells to. Like a snow Storm or cone of frost. A wide spreaded aoe attack before you.

Maybe, change it even, that some spells has shorter distance to the enemie and are stronger. And other are weaker and has more distance. To bring movement to us (questionable, original ice 2 had zero distance and was that kind of spell, and was never used, because whe stand away).

The fire phase of the blm is ok. It feels as if they should expand the ice phase and thunder spells again.
