I was wrong about this and I'll admit that I was wrong about this, but throwing in a cheap jab like this in order to try to discredit me as though everything else I said is without some merit, that's just slimy and doesn't help the discussion at all. If you think the game is in a perfect state of balance you're dead wrong, if you think that the unbalance in the game is okay you're probably one of the people that doesn't have trouble getting into parties. Given how proud of your GEO and Ergon weapon you are I'd wager you're in a pretty dedicated LS and probably don't even have to worry about PUGs.

No. A good Thf is in that range of 60-80%ish of a good DD, that's fine IMO. Give up a lil DD for better drops, and in most content as of late (Revamped BCs, Incursion, Aluvion Skirmish) TH does indeed help. Won't even touch the utility a Blm brings, never mind that it's the best DD-ish job capable of DDing with Sam without hampering it's DPS by interrupting SCs. A good Smn is plenty capable of being of value to a party, not every party, and it's not optimal, but being of value is enough in today's content.
I don't know where you're getting this idea that BLMs can give SAMs a run for their money. BLM has its niches on content that have many mobs weak to magic, BLM isn't a DDish job it's supposed to be a DD job at least classically and it can't fulfill it's roll properly because of MP/DPS/Enmity issues. It can put out decent dps but I have no idea why you say they shouldn't be top-tier DPS. They should be the prime magic DPS in the game comparable to the best melee DD jobs because that's what they're meant to do.
