I think its been obvious for a while that NIN needs a nerf, I don't know of any serious comp that doesn't have one - even back in 3.X. I was shocked that it was actually buffed for SB.

Well in case of BLM it's totally not true. Also BLM=SAM result in lower BLMs dps in real content.

I respect that many caster players here think that, I just dont see that as having been the case in the past or any evidence to suggest it to be so now. And why would BLM=SAM result in lower dps for BLM in real content?

From where you get that idea of yours about casters uptime anyway???

It's a indisputable and known fact that movement is gutting BLMs DPS very hard. Saying that BLM is less punished by mechanics is laughable.
At this point I think enough people already showed you why you are wrong. It's time to let it go imo...

A lot of people have said I am wrong, not so much on the showing. But I agree about letting go, we will see next week what happens with BLM. If SE makes them stronger than SAM then I will most certainly have been in the wrong.

Even your own data suggesting you're wrong...

It wasn't supposed to? It was in response to CecMiller's post about there being a 1- 2% diff in uptime across good players on Susano. I agreed with them... Did you even read it?

You would need to measure across every fight in the game the uptime between BLM and SAM to definitively say one had greater uptime over the other. You dont have that data, I dont have that data. Until then its purely speculation.
