Are there just no BLMs anymore?

Just curious, when I was leveling my first two classes it seemed like there was BLMs everywhere but now that I'm trying to get my darklight/relic stuff it seems like there's just TONS of DRGs and BRDs.

Every primal has 2 or more of each or both and never any casters for the Ifrit LB.

So did something happen to where nobody likes to play that class anymore or something? Cause I feel like I'd be better off ditching my SMN and BRD to go play one with all these random groups always needing one lately.

SMN has the same limit break as BLM.

Of this I'm aware, but I rarely see any of those either. Not that I'm surprised though since after playing one to HM titan myself I found their DPS to be less than favorable for DPS checks.

I really dont see too many black mages or monks grinding for darklight.

Comments like this on the forum is the reason why you don't see any. Thanks to FATEs, nobody knows what the hell they're doing when they hit 50. When they show their ass at raids and fail, they flock to the forums to say how much the job sucks and all the stupid people believe them.

I beat Titan HM as a BLM. Of course your dps is going to suck if you are told to meele titan to build TP for LB2, as in my case.

BLM also have access to Virus which is nice for phase 3 Tumults.

Is it more difficult to dps, sure, but its more then doable as a BLM.

Phase 3 is more about survival then dps, you can't dps with your face on the ground.

So in short, BLM don't suck for Titan.

reroll just 1 boss battle? , come on then no1 will play WAR or MNK/lNC , or SCH or .....there are battles that are unfair for melees others are unfair for casters , others are cool for SCH others for WHM , same goes for War or PLD....but if ppl have to reroll just for 1 battle something is wrong

blms are amazing dps , both single and aoe , dont get me wrong they need fixes like every other class , but far from broken or useless

I think this is the root of the problem. Forcing someone to waste their time to level a class they dont like to clear content will drive people away.
