Im always happy to watch this channel because of how positive and thoughtful it is. I came for the FFXI content but I subbed for the quality. Keep it up! :)
I appreciate the kind words, it keeps my sails filled with wind! I'm aiming to have the Abyssea recap out before the end of the month!
As a BLM main I love the changes and maybe because I’m Spell Speed BLM the change in MP Regen and other things is an indirect buff for BLM that are geared with a Spell Speed build
The more I read about BLM optimization, the less of a big deal these changes seem like to me. Pretty much the only thing that seems actually bad is Ice Paradox being gone, because it's a big movement spell.
I'm excited to try more BLM!
@@sharlayanforum yes but the movement we had in Ice Phase because of Ice Paradox we will have it in Fire Phase because Paradox is Instant now and reset timer and 100% chance of fire started that also reset timers, I think it will be fine, something I would love for Quality Change for Movement is that Aetherial Manipulation should be just a dash just like the Pictomancer has, a Non-Targetable Dash
I am the most excited about the rework for astro! I love that they went back to each card having different effects, and the most important, Earthly Star is still there 😅
Agreed! I think its a fantastic middle ground between what we once had and the more sterile version we have now.
also yes, if Star ever gets removed, we riot.
As someone in love with Black Mage, I find that there are ups and downs. It's losing a lot of optional complexity and flexibility, but other aspects are becoming more straight-forward. The "non-standard" was super-interesting to nerds like me, but wasn't important for normal play, and it contributed a lot to people thinking "I'm too dumb to play this job". I suspect a lot of people won't update their opinions, but I'm happy for steps to make the job less intimidating. On the other hand, there are guard rails that don't strike me as helpful, and accomplish little other than limiting flexibility.
Goodness, though - am I stoked for Dragoon, Astro, Monk, and Red Mage!
My very uninformed BLM take is much the same - the change will probably be detrimental for people who main the job in bleeding edge content where the 3-5% non-standard dps increase matters, but for the 98% of players who just play it casually, it will probably be an overall improvement.
I super excited to try all the jobs! All the changes look like they have something interesting to offer without disrupting too much of the rotation!
Thanks for the comment and checking out the video!
@@sharlayanforum Improvement for Casuals and bad change for Intermediate/Advanced players. New changes will be optimized but the level of mobility BLM had with Paradox swapping will be missed. High level play is what separates Great BLM's from Average BLM's.
I feel they should of at most only implemented the Umbral Ice change. With Umbral Ice, removing double Transpose/Paradox, removing Sharpcast, removing Thunder Proc farming, it's a bad look at a glance overall.
Feels like Casters were gutted to give all the nuance and complexity to Pictomancer to shuffle a whole bunch to try out the job.
BLM will be fine but it's been relegated to a New Age ARR Rotation of spam Fire4/Flare > Flare Star.
And Manafont being the de facto 2 min skill just tells me they are doubling down on their mindnumbing 2 minute burst meta many are tired of.
If they felt so keen to remove nonstandard gameplay from BLM then they should do the same for Warriors being able to heal the party and complete current level dungeons without a healer. Which is nonstandard for a Tank.
I definitely understand the sentiment here, but I think the caveat to remember is that the overwhelming majority of the playerbase is casual players. These changes are unmistakably making BLM more approachable than ever for a wide majority of the playerbase.
It's unfortunate for those who play it a lot and optimize it, but for the vast majority of the playerbase it will be a good change.
The developers have to choose who to target with changes, and the safest bet is usually the majority, even if us long timers might not like it.
@@sharlayanforum Majority ultimately won't even notice the changes all that much. Only the vocal minority will and in the long term they don't matter. It is what it is.
It's disappointing but not unexpected.
Given the additional changes with most gap closers not doing damage and Monk being retooled to be forced to use their basic combo instead of Dragon Kick spam I see a lot of jobs being forced to conform to rigid rotations and conformation to the 2 minute meta. Even moreso when most of the new actions are just additional followups to finishers added in the last expansion.
On the bright side though it does shine a spotlight on the 2 new jobs that are more flexible during encounters. Especially Pictomancer.
I think overall longtime players expected more stuff to do but without anything being taken away.
I think classes will be fine. It's just some will need time to adjust to the changes.
And that's all I have to say about that.
I agree! I think the devs have a vision for how they want to game to play and are pushing people towards that vision.
We always find ways to adjust and play inside of the restrictions, and this time will be no different.
Love the ffxi content. Im about to reinstall my sub and game tonight. FFXI held a very special place in my life. Im 40 yrs old now and played XI in 2002 or 3? Hell i cant remember i was 19. As much as im excited for DT theres certain memories ive made in XI that ill never forget . Appreciate the content
Love it! XI definitely has a special place in my heart. I hope one day we see the subs combined so I can jump back in
Omg I played it too. What server were you guys on? I played on Asura and Kujata.
I was originally on Hades before it got merged into Cerberus (I think?), then I moved to Asura!
@@sharlayanforum Ahh Nice. Haha I was quite a popular gal on Asura lol. I was known for like messaging high level players and kind you this was back in 2002 way before all this new stuff happened with trust. Spells would be so expensive so I would search all 75 players and go down the list and ask them to buy spells for me 😆 always worked too though some was like wow I can’t believe this gal is doing this. It was quite fun. Made loads of friends that way. Ugh making me miss it so much right now :) hmm now I wonder if you would have bought me any spells if I had asked? 😆
Back then? Absolutely not lmao. I was broke as a joke! I only really got into the real endgame swing of things once I came back years later on Asura
