BLM

[Louro999]

I'm so sick with BLM job skills. Seriously, they are underwhelming.

Convert, Apocastasis, Mana Wall, Freeze, Flare... They are all very situational.
Where are the powers of destruction my job trainer talked about ? Flare ? What a joke.

Most jobs grant useful powers that define the class.
Jumps, Oaths, Chants, etc.
So what defines BLM is Convert and Apocastasis ? That's great.

I'd kill to have Flare being a true nuke power with longer cooldown but NUKE damages.
Yeah I know, L2 use it, blabla. I know how to use flare, but it's useless unless you can aoe on 3 enemies and damages are so-so considering the cast-time + Transpose.
Same for Freeze. I wish it was a real nuke power freezing enemies for real not binding them, with a longer cooldown.

The BLM job brings nothing special to the THM and strips THM from great cross-skills.

That picture reminds me of some great moments as a BLM with true BLM powers:

Too bad even that pic is a relic of the past. BLM in XI hasn't been useful since Abyssea.
