remove BLM from the game.

[Hex]

Worthless job. There is 0 reason to play it in any content. Every time I get one in my group they get 100% carried.

EDIT: It should be mandatory to have a parser installed when playing BLM so you would know just how useless you really are.

When a tank buster is incoming during savage and try to bully the tank into moving when they have to triple mit because BLM dropped their leylines and won’t move, BLM think they are chads, until they get hit with 80k worth of damage because the tank passive aggressively says “your leylines don’t matter as much as me surviving and holding agro being a team player”

Is what my last static BLM believed. Ps. I was the MT who would drop a TB on him if he continued to mistime his leylines while I am mid burst and a TB comes in, because we weren’t geared properly during prog, since it was week 7-8 before supports got any substantial gear

OP - I’m sure there are “good” blms out there, but tbh, I wouldn’t no. When I run savage reclears I remove blm from the dps jobs, because they are more interested in dps than mechanics. Specifically sitting in their leylines instead of spread/stack or adjusting for tank swaps when they are in the position the tanks rotate to.. every.. damn.. tb…

It's 100% your job as a tank to accommodate a BLM as much as possible.

Yes.

As a tank, you have full mobility. You can move all day and lose nothing as long as you're in range of healers and raid buffs. BLM has to stop casting to move (they need to save swiftcast, triplecast etc for mechanics).

If a tank won't move with a tankbuster to accomodate a BLM, they're a bad tank. Simple as that.

ever seen BLM´s in endgame? (atleast those who know how to play the job) he would even beat you playing reaper. BLM´s are one of the highest DPS classes if played right.
the only thing which is really dumb on a BLM is casting flare and missing the 3second MP window. SE should fix this somehow in my opinion aka adding an emergency MP skill which gives you enough mp to swap to the ice phase xD.

iunno, do you mean that really serious or are you trying to bait all the peoples which play BLM as mainclass? xD

The problem is that it's rarely played right.

Look how wide that spread is compared to other jobs

At 0th percentile, BLM is the worst performing job in the game.

When you are in P7S, and drop your leylines right in the middle of the platform, and I am on the edge, as I am every time for my TB, and you die because you are too close, I am 100% doing my job. It is the BLMs fault they get clipped by TBs because they want to sit dead center of the leyline.

Sorry, but your wrong.

Stand on the bridge...

The tankbuster after spread/stack happens at the same time every single time my guy. You know it's coming. Move.

i know, i see rarely good BLM´s but if i spot one get they a recommendation from me for playing the job good ^^.

tho fact is, i wouldnt call the job useless :o.
i would more say its useless if someone plays it which has no idea what he does. but i think that counts for all classes when someone doesnt knows how to play the class =w=.

I cannot sit on the bridge, because the entire party is there. Make 5 people adjust for a BLM? pfft, youre out of your mind. BLMs act all entitled because leylines they have to sit in them. Guess what.. the DPS checks arent so tight you have to sit in your leylines. I hate to break it to you, but surviving and not taking DDs wins the fights, not getting just a tiny sliver of dps from leylines.

but but, if they leave their laylines loose they parsing score D=.
you cant demand that from a BLM '-'.

iunno i had not yet a BLM which stood under ALL circumstances in AoE´s which would definitly kill them. usually know BLM´s if they survive or not ... atleast most of the time *shrugs*.

No, they aren't. Your party moves onto the south platform to preposition for the next mechanic. You can move right or left onto the north bridge and take the TB there. Your job as a tank is to enable the DPS to do as much damage as possible. That means giving them as much uptime as possible, which includes moving so your BLM can sit in their leylines.

i know the P7S (phase 1) position generally as 2 dps left, 2 dps right, healers on the back and and both tanks front.

the group usually only moves when needed, otherwise stay peoples in this position.
looks like this.
wonderfully done via windows paint, enjoy.
https://gyazo.com/17381938b9242acde6d9ee096b1ab880
this has worked allways for my static and is usually the positional opener. assuming you guys talk about P7S.
usually should the party always return to this opener position in phase 1.
there should be absolutely noone on any bridge at all, only if needed aka dodging the left and right arm or the in and out, the usuall mechanics. again, the party is usually in that position.

Sounds a lot like you are talking about Duty Finder normal content and the meme about BLM not moving from any aoe and spends half of the fight dead.. X)

Truth is, anyone who plays BLM in statics are usually at the level that they not only do well, but a lot better than some classes with way way easier playstyle (by general opinion). So based on my own experience and what seen, majority of static BLM's and party finders finest (no sarcasm) are really good with it. Yes, it is not the most newbie friendly class and takes time to get good with it for most and gotta know the mechs of each fight well.

Most often anyone who complains about BLM are either really bad at playing with it themselves or generally the grey parsers who blame everyone else when stuck at some enrage lmao.

Based on any MMO game and pvp game i have ever played.. when someone demands something removed, they usually are bad at the game and gotta direct that not getting a clear anger (or losing a pvp match) at something else than themselves. :)
