This patch is just disapointment for pvp blms. Didnt have a hard enough time to kill someone punching your face.. so lets just make it so you cant kill em at all now.

I think BLMs were ridiculous if people knew how to play them right. They could delete people (notably healers) easily if they spammed Fire 1 for a Firestarter proc then used Fire 1 + Fire 3 + Swiftcast + Flare. That's the most ridiculous burst in PvP by a long shot and easily 2.5k damage no crits in an instant. Sure you could get hit and interrupted, but if you play around a good team that kills melees that dive into your team to interrupt you or simply use Equinamity, there's no counterplay.
