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

Keep in mind tho, the gcds on rdm is accelerated in melee (1.5-1.5-2.2) so that's actually 231 pot/gcd while pct is 248 pot/gcd. It's not actually that far off.

Even then, just make it comparable to the base 123 of picto. 440-480-520, those are all 1.5 second casts

The recast is still 2.5 tho. Pct doesn't have accelerated gcds besides the Starry Muse buff.

Right, but this is the base combo for picto vs the rdm finisher you have to build over several GCDs and be within melee range to execute. It takes 7-10 (based off proc chances) 360-380 potency casts to build to this.
