Looks like Peregrine was right. Blm nerf.

Meh, it'll probably just be a new ranged weapon like shuriken. Without any throwing ws, and with war's low rating with throwing(D I believe), they probably won't be used.
 
You know what? nerfing blm is retarded. what u are going to end up with is a job that has no offensive power or defensive power. The whole point of blm is that magic is supposed to be powerful. For those blm that want the nerf, do you think people are gonna want to waste a slot on you? no, instead they will go to another job (mnk anyone) to fil your position.
 
I find this to be a good thing. I have nothing against Black Mages in general, but Manaburn parties are just lame. I was in Dragon's Aery one night trying to exp, and a manaburn coming in for goddamn Merits wiped out everything within a minute. Just too easy.
 
I think if you have more then 1 BLM in a PT your Dmg will get nerfft, But of say 1-2 BLMs were in a PT dmg will stay the same.
 
I have a static pt and already finished divine might. I don't need a cheaper scorpion harness, and I make gil from Wild Wild Whiskers BCNM 60 and not KSNM30s. Killing manaburns doesn't hurt me.

You're pretty ignorant about possibilities. They could nerf Black Mages by making monsters build elemental resistance(Scale it differently for NMs) like they do to sleep right now. That doesn't hurt the individual Black Mage in the slightest. It's not One Black Mage causing issues. It's 6-18. Thats where the problem lies.
 
Wait til you get to sky and see how war cannons clean the place out. WAR and MNK might be next.

I just hope this is well performed, not a 'screw bst over accidentally to kill mpking" type move. There are already so many things that limit what a BLM can do in a PT, namely MP consumption, long cast timers, instant hate and interruptions.

If this nerf only applied in DM 18 BLM type situations, Id be happy. Those incopetent goobers are what give BLM a bad name

Monk cannons only thrive in one place. Black Mage cannons live anywhere, except against magic pots and evil eyes. There is a difference. One mob type vs. all but two is very, very large.

Note: Don't take this as me saying MNK cannon should be around. It's drawn a lot of Bandwagoners I'd like to see be given the boot.

Oh noez to fast exp ( /,\)
 
Re:skaw and mnks. (damn the posts are pouring in)

One place that can pull in several times xp/hr that the best manaburn can, and which applies to merit points, which can make up as much XP it takes to get from 1-75.

The more BLMs you have in 1 PT the less Dmg they do as a whole.
 
If they only effect this on exp, (elemental resistant build up) I can see it happening. If they give NM elemental resistant build up, that'll kinda be screwed up. -_- Smn will truely be the only endgame DD.

Again, thats still restricted to one area, that can only hold two parties without impacting the cannon values. Black Mages have virtually everywhere to Manaburn in.

Needs to affect end-game encounters as well, in some way. Otherwise it only fixes part of the Black Mage imbalance.
 
Looks like I need to milk blm cannon parties for all the merits I can before these changes come.

So how will this affect cannon parties in dynamis? 6 blm not bein able to take out a stone does not sound like a good idea to me

If it takes blms more than a couple casts to kill a stone, they need to start wearing gear.
