Likewise for blizzard on fire/blizzard mobs...crazy world, I know), and gear selection (I agree, Igqira Manillas seem like the best of both worlds...they're not, they suck, stop using them...they're like the multipurpose fax/printer/scanner that sucks at all 3 jobs).
I'd blame this on manaburn to 75, except that's not really a huge thing on my server (and stupid people in manaburns=multiple deaths to all involved). I blame parties that won't go out without a blm, and won't let a blm die if he overnukes. I blame KI blm boards for just posting blatantly wrong information. I blame Allakhazam main boards...just because. And finally...I blame all the shitty "OMG WE NEED 1461375 BLMS TO BEAT *insert HNM easily beat with 6 competent players*" ls's that propagate the stupid line of thought that blms are necessary to beat anything in this game. It's like the old "throw more rngs" train of thought, and it just makes crappy players level blm because they think they can get in on the hnm "fun".
So yeah...most of these new blms suck donky dong, and I hope they all die. I don't ask much...just a basic knowledge of your stats, and basic blm play style. I don't except someone that plays like me, because every good blm has a slightly different style of play/equipment set up based on personal preference (I <3 -enmity more than any blm I know, and I really downplay int alot). So go out there, read some blm advice that doesn't orginate from KI, and watch a good blm in action and take notes. Please, stop drawing attention to the job...if SE nerfs us, I'm going to personally hunt down every noob 75 blm and beat them up Jay and Silent Bob style.
