BLM no better then other?

Hello guys,

i have there a question.

After Patch 2.3 is now my BLM really better then the Monks, Dragoons and Summoners in my Raid-group? Or only a little better Single DPS and not better in DPS then all other DPS-classes?

If you're a good BLM you should be on par with DRG. SMN is in my experience still a bit higher. MNK is still king

It highly depends on the content...
In dungeons, monks are really bad (no sustained AOE damage, GL always down) while BLM are kings.
In SCOB, it is not possible to outdps a good melee, unless the gear difference is huge. Turn 8 is probably the best fight for Monks and Dragoons. BLM can now be on par with all the other classes (Brd, Smn) on a single target, which is definitely a good thing.

You cant expect to be king in AOE/old content AND king in new/hard content.

Your BLM is now the king of dps, easily blowing full 8-man parties of MNKs out of the water on its own.
/sarcasm

My BLM definitely does more damage now, but MNK/DRG are still going to do more single target, and SMN still has better utility.

I somewhat disagree, only because perhaps most dragoon do not know how to play the class fully but i have often done more st dps then dragoons equally geared or even geared slightly higher.
Monks will always do more ST damage however i am thinking this may change once Ninja comes out.

I must be a bad blm but I did a lot less damage than my party's monk & dragoon in T6 yesterday.
Ultimately, movement = shitty DPS so I've decided to permanently switch to summoner meh.

If you work in A.M. after chains and sprinting once briars drop it'll help your dps out a lot by reducing the time spent moving. Be sure to swiftcast Flare if theres a briar in the middle as well. You should also be using atleast Mega-Potion of INT, X-Potion even better.

we did T8 after patch, Our MNK getting 445 DPS. while our BLM DPS increase from 335 to almost 400 after 2.3.
a good DRG/SMN will still out DPS BLM on single target but it wont be by large margin anymore.

Its 10% of what you able to do

if you do 300 before, you will hit 330, if you did 500 (lol) before, you will able to hit 550

Simple as that, don't listen to other bullshit too much because they just want to brag

After counting in Foe's Requiem it does seem BLM can beat any DPS but MNK in a stand-still like T8, though still less than DRG + the buff it gives BRD if you count that as the whole of DRG DPS. Considering how much better utility SMN has, and how its damage converts into real fights more consistently by default, I think this is how it should be.
