    I have to wonder how many high end events you have been to. Asking a BLM to cure themselves with their limited MP pool is wrong. Yes, they 'can' do it, just like as a SMN I 'can' melee my enemies to death. Should I? Hell no. A BLM's job is not to look after themselves. Keep track of hate and not overnuke? Yes. Cure themselves? No. That's what support jobs are for. And SMN is a support job, even if you don't like it.

    I don't like it either, but it IS the job.
    I'm not saying you should main heal as a BLM, nor melee as a SMN. I'm saying that you should cure yourself (hint: notice the bolded word, you have ignored it so far) to save the WHM MP for curing those who can't cure themselves or cure the tank.

    BLM's job all depends on what is needed. Not to overnuke, yes. To keep a group of mobs slept, yes. Why are you lazy to cure yourself?

    SMN is a job that supports damage dealing. They give buffs to the party and do decent damage to the mobs. They can kite stuff if needed, and can effectively turn a bad situation into a salvageable one. That is their role. To cure everyone is not.

    And I'm saying that BLM shouldn't even be curing themselves unless it's a dire situation. Enemity is but one issue.

    Look, I want you to go to the BLM forums and ask them if they cure themselves on a regular basis when in an alliance for an event. I guarantee you the majority will say no.

    On a regular basis? Even I don't need to cure myself on a regular basis, and my friends joke about all the times I die.

    But I'll take your challenge.
