It probably sounded sarcastic due to my attitude when talking about comparing blm and sch. People tend to forget that while sch is a strong nuker there are many factors to consider above and beyond a single nuke from a sch and a single nuke from a blm.

I'm not denying sch isn't a powerful nuker though, don't get me wrong. But if you're using every buff to beat a blm on a pure nuke basis you're not likely sustaining that for long, either due to enmity, mp, stopping to cast/recast buffs, switching arts if necessary, spending stratagems on other things, etc; as well as ignoring utility, traits, gear, etc.

My blm friends made me cry after they released elemental celerity, again not saying they didn't need or deserve it.

As far as rdm, I agree. It's pretty much in a similar boat as sch, only they've got more leaks and no one patching them.
