Fixing the fight doesn't necessarily correct the problem nor is it neccesarily the easiest solution. If nerfing BLM is the quickest solution to removing manaburns or lessening the imact into the game then that is what SE will do. Take DM for instance, the only real modification to it that is neccesary to remove manaburn is to increase the HP of the AA or lessen magic damage. If they did that, then it manaburning it near impossible, but by changing the BC it increases the difficulty of already difficult fight for the non-manaburn type fight. In that case, they have to also modify it so that a normal setup will be more effective to compensate for the increased HP or magic resistance. The simplest solution is to simply correct the key problem. In most instances, -ga spells are not necessary at all. Aspid, Nidhogg, you name it, any mob out in the open shouldn't be nuked with -ga spells and can be killed regardless of SE nerfing it or not. This will effect gods where they are in secluded areas, but really, no one considers them an incredible challenge anymore. Will this make some fights impossible? I highly doubt it.
