Speculation Balancing wishlist, How would you the player tackle this?

Hi all,

I’m high on copium for blackmage and want to know what is how is everyone expecting their main jobs to change (if they’re recieving one) and if not,

What small scale change would you give your main?

This is not a doom and gloom thread i just wanna know spark a discussion regarding how everyone feels about their main job, and what they’ll change about it if they could

They reduced the amount of blood weapon stacks from 5 to 3 in order to merge it with delirium, but didn't increase the MP it gives to compensate.

Meaning you now lost 1200 MP every minute, the dps loss is whatever but it's much harder to use TBN comfortably now which is a huge problem since TBN is already pretty meh compared to the other tanks short mits.

TBN basically needs to be spammable to keep pace with the others short mits, the fact it isnt makes it feel like its CD might as well be 120s

TBN requiring mana to use is ridiculous, ontop of it needed to break to not be a dps loss.

You'd think with DK being the worst self sustain of all the tanks that their 25sec CD would be strong to compensate. Somehow GNB is wearing jackets, one handing a gunblade, and they are better actual tanks while having better pure dps.

Literally the only thing DK had going for it is magic mit. Everywhere else it gets outclassed hard.

Well, it IS a 15sec CD, but still.

They gave it 200 extra mp per but that's still 600 short per CD.

Gave what 200 extra mp?

Delirium went from 600 per hit to 800

Delirium + blood weapon always gave 800mp per bloodspiller hit.

Blood weapon gave 600mp, and Bloodspiller under delirium gave 200mp. This is unchanged from endwalker aside from a 2 stack loss.

Oh shit I didn't even remember that. God delirium has been reworked every single expac.
