This thread just sounds like a bunch of people making excuses. Yeah ff14 app isn't perfect, but if you actually take the time to test it yourself, you'll find its fairly reliable. It's already been updated enough to make it somewhat reliable. It still doesn't track Shadowflare, which any good summoner knows is a big chunk of dmg. Also, it doesn't read the logs persay like a traditional parser, its actually attaching itself so that's the reason it can track the dots at all.

Anyways, no reason BLM should be doing more DPS than a SMN anyways. Why would anyone think that a class with amazing single and aoe dps, tons of burst, all frontloaded with an infinite supply of mana should do better single target DPS than a DoT class is beyond me.
