You mentioned
For melee, you generally have 4 tiers of damage output (this is using standard Delve weapons, and in the ideal environment, not counting time between mobs): 250 DPS when unbuffed, 350 DPS when buffed and supported by a mage, 600 DPS when supported by brd+mage, and 900 DPS when supported by multiple brds (or Daur brd), cor and mage.
(I can't imagine even with the mob enfeebled with -INT & -MdB + INT from BRD, INT from WHM & COR rolls a BLM coming close)

If true & knowing you it is: before this is implemented, they need to do another update and round of testing to elemental magic.

Either make buffs more potent to compensate for the difference, or change the formula again so a well geared mage with food and buffs reaches similar results with support.
