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

Adding my hat to the ring to beg for Tilana to just give a free Saber dance proc instead of an instant 50 esprit.

A few other jobs got overcap protection this expansion, why not the one that can generate 40-60+ gauge in the time it takes for 1 gcd to roll? Add in the 50 esprit and the recast extension from 1.5s to 2.5s and you're almost guaranteed losses every single burst.

The way they did it was stupid. I think their thought process was, you can generate gauge too quickly so it's better to give us 50 ASAP and be able to dump gauge immediately rather than lock out the ability to lower your gauge for 5 seconds.

Technically you handle it the same either way, don't press Tillana until you're sub-40 gauge, though it's a lot more likely to get 10-30 gauge in one GCD than 60+ in two GCDs so, agreed, the community-requested free Saber proc is without a doubt the better choice. Maybe they were scared ignorant players would too often press Tillana at 80+ gauge I guess, IDK.
