I loved XI also, and want BLM to be BLM and not a half ass mage or basically 90% thunder mage, but you need to wait till 2.0 becuase it is beign adjusted.

Enfeebs, well if RDM is on the horizon let it have enfeebs, no nukes, malee enhanced magic. Better mp/hp drain (we have it it just doesn't work that well).

We need newer fight mechanics and speed.

We have a way to mix match sub abilties not just one, that's actaully better.

Wait till ARR till we start bitching.
