I can't think of any complaints with EW blm. Just by virtue of making Enochian a trait allows just a little bit more concentration elsewhere, and two triple flaires makes mobility so much better too!

my only complaint is that High Fire II did not replace Fire IV, because it looks much cooler

The blm 90 AF has really grown on me. I do miss the casting sets like yafaemi or the WoD set. 70 AF was also really cool. Guess I like big witchy hats

it makes me sad you can only dye the cuffs and not the nails

also I have been maining BLM since I started, since HW when they got Fire 4 I feel like BLM is just really fun to play. all the hits are so huge and hearing a Flare go off is the best. my only complaint, which I have had since the very first time I saw it, is that the visual and sound effects for Despair suck and they need to make it more explodey

89 Dungeon spoilers
Fandaniel didn't kill himself when he went out with Zodiark. He shows back up in the 89 dungeon as Amon (He states "Even after all these years this has always been my favorite form" when you pull him) and at the end Asahi shows up and decides to drag him down specifically because despite wanting to bring the end times he was too much of a coward to take himself out. Also the whole bringing about the fall of the empire which Asahi really, really, really liked.

what? the whole reason he's in the 89 dungeon is because he's dead, the aetherial sea is where dead people go. that's why moenbryda and haurchefant and papalymo are down there too

Also true. If getting Orbonne was like getting Praetorium, I'd be fine doing Orbonne. I mean not on black mage as I loathe over 50 black mage, but on other classes.

BLM is extremely easy to me (as a person who plays the main quest as one) because I hit a button and then I have a leisurely wait until I have to hit another button. Mechanist by comparison is called a very easy class because it doesn't have many buttons but I find it uses much more of my attention because you hit those buttons many more times, much faster.

someone did an FFLogs review once and I think BLM was the job with the lowest APM

pulling it back to Bard talk immediately I noticed while loving around in gpose that Sidewinder actually has the sickest animation where you loose the arrow and then hold your hand up and snap your fingers as soon as the damage registers

yes sidewinder also has the tornado kick/elixir field problem, which were the first abilities where I noticed that they actually look really cool but you never get to see them because they're oGCDs

they could just do like ffxi and invent things that aren't levels but that still make your character stronger, and require you to earn points but do NOT call them experience points

they're definitely going to patch it (how? idk) because in general they designed a specific way to play each job, and for BLM that is not it

someone asked in here earlier I think as a joke but XIVLauncher DOES have a plugin that will allow you to replace the christian rock in the last EW zone with either previous version of the song. you can point it at only that song so the music in the game will otherwise be normal.

it works on every other song (replace any song with any song) but that's the only one I have it pointed at right now.

Honestly as a BLM main I like several of the WHM weapons more than the BLM one from the same source

Also surprised they haven’t just started doing variant models for BLM/WHM staffs like they do for SMN/SCH book or caster/healer gear. Not that I’m complaining, that poo poo sucks

Same but it's just too cool not to do it. Switching jobs feels a lot more impactful when you're snapping to do it.

If you do it while moving does your upper body freeze and snap while your legs keep moving, or do you just not do the emote stuff all?

You'd either need fractional /wait (probably not happening) or for gearset change to not interrupt animations (probably not happening). That said, I don't know the XIV codebase thank gently caress, so :shrug:

If there was some roulette that kept me at max level for abilities and then randomly threw me into any level dungeon that'd be cool.

It'd be a nightmare to balance gameplay to be anything but "hold W and mash all your abilities" so I won't ever expect it and it's probably not a great idea anyhow?

I just want to see more of the stormblood dungeons, those are fun and flavorful

speaking as someone who doesn't care whether the class is complicated or w/e and someone who has played DRK since HW, I will say I also think it sucks right now for the reason someone else mentioned earlier - it's really boring and it doesn't have enough cool looking abilities. like for PLD you might say the visual "peak" of the rotation (the thing that looks the coolest to do) is the Confiteor combo. For GNB it's Gnashing Fang/Double Down. For WAR it's Primal Rend (I think - I haven't levelled my WAR above 80 yet). DRK I feel like doesn't have anything that good. Shadowbringer is okay, and Bloodspiller is fine, but the most exciting thing you can do is hit Delirium and then you get to...press Bloodspiller five times in a row. It's boring

The lack of materia slots does hold them back from being as good as melded crafted gear, but they can be a good starting point if you don't want to spend the gil/broken materia out the gate. Also, every DoL/H class has unique gear, so if you like a look you might as well go for it.
