This just in: BLM Damage to be Changed

[sinful]

You blm's don't get too excited just yet:

1UP: Are you looking to do something similar with Black Mages? A recent trend has been these "Manaburning" parties where five Black Mages (and a tank to hold hate) all cast Blizzaga 3 and kick (arguably) too much ass, too fast. Black Mages can hit level 75 in no time using this strategy.

HT: The Black Mages have been way too strong and ever since we released the game, and we've been trying to make them weaker. But as you know, players always find creative ways to get around this (laughs). But as for what we're going to do in the future, we're planning to continue to look to those Black Mages and continue to adjust them.

if this is any indication of what SE plans on doing , they will just keep adjusting/nerfing everyone till no one does any damage and we will be in "The Dunes" forever

looks like i better get a manaburn party together FAST!

[lolAerya]

I got a 47 blm, anyone interested in manaburning with me? lol
well, the way I see it, pretty much all types of nerf sux and only makes it take a lot longer to get through the levels... not just for the nerfed job, but for everyone, since the pt dmg output is reduced...
I didn´t make it in time because I messed around with all the jobs when I started playing the game, but I´d have loved to have gotten high enough when u could do a ws such as pentathrust or guilhotine and get instant 100 tp again or really close cause it was a 5 hit ws... but just like a lot of cool stuff in this game, that was nerfed too... :/

There is a difference to doing good damage like BLM do now, and do what I described and totally destroy several things that are supposed to be hard. Like Divine Might.

I dont want BLM any more gimped in party play then anyone else, but I want the abusing to be fixed, and I concider ALL BLM PWNAGE to be a abuse. But thats just my oppinion.

YAY DD's might get some better abilities

[Xaero]

bah, then instead of gimpin their damage like that they shoulda jus done something like for every primary blm in a pt over 1 have it cause like some sorta power distoration from the mass amount of power being handled an thus only reduce the damage per spell cast if over 1 blm. i mean long as u put up some story like that, or some other bs story so it sounds good then things work out well. plus it doesnt screw over those who play in regular pts.

just make melee a little stronger (especially thieves)

He's right. Just give thieves ancient magic, no one will rant about blms or rngs anymore.
