Implement Weekend "Double Everything" Bonus Please :D

I haven't looked at all the spreadsheets and simulations recently but I find it hard to believe they are that far behind unless real DD only refers to like 2-3 jobs. Maybe if you count skillchain dmg but a lot of that is how you set things up. Hell last I was reading post update even mnk is that far behind and I mean lolmnk. Unless you are going by straight parses or something which well most blus are mediocre at best and as you already admit mostly just spam cdc like dummies.

Then again you can't really use a modifier of proper party composition and complain about skill properties since in a party where skillchaining is useful a proper party composition would use dds with good ws with complimentary skillchain properties. That said they have strong ws for 3/4 level 2 elements and both level 3 so idk about not having good properties unless again lolcdcspammage

Spreadsheets are very inaccurate and bad. Everytime I've tested something in game it's proven to me spreadsheets are wrong because the data put into them for stats/gear/etc are not accurate(even for up to date spreadsheets!) and thus the results become wrong. Real game testing is the only 100% accurate testing. The corsair guides BIS gear lists are a great example of the spreadsheets being wrong, as there's so much incorrect information there it's not even funny.


The below assumes a proper party comp with 2-4 supports and people keeping their buffs up and actually -naing dd's and hasting curing erasing etc.

Jobs that do more dps than blu:
DRG WAR SAM DRK THF DNC COR(Needs to not be a roll only cor and have damage sets)

Jobs that do around blue dps:
NIN

Job's that probably do more dps than blue with omen accs:
RDM

Job's that blu does more dps than:
MNK PUP


Bluemage is good when you have braindead support or a bad party comp, but you don't want to be in comps like that anyways so it's irrelevant. Bluemage is a bad DD, and needs to stop being called a "heavy dd" - it's a jack of all trades that does nice things like aoe erase, aoe sleep, light dispel, defense down, aoe curing, etc.

What makes bluemage SC properties so bad? It's the fact it wants to press Expiacion and CDC to keep up aftermaths but there's MUCH better distortion users(thf, dancer mainly), it has ZERO fusion weapon skills and competes with resolution for frag while the only good non-mythic fusion weapon skill is upheavel and shun, and ninja is not a good DD either. It's gravitation weapon skill is REQ, which is a god awful weapon skill for trying to deal damage, couple this with the fact that corsair is a better savage blade user and you really don't want a bluemage for skillchaining because it's REALLY bad at scing with other optimal jobs. The only way it can get a decent gravitation WS is by using a Hepatizion sapara but that's going to nerf it's damage even more as corsair can use that with ZERO penalty to it's damage while a bluemage loses out on it's almace or tizona to use it.
