Best DPS class in the game?

(snip) It's 'burst' Vs. the consistency of all those dots still going while you have to move around, dodge, ect., the same way a brd can keep constant and roll face as he's running about.

If any BLM has difficulty maintaining their damage while being forced to move, they need to l2play their Class. I'm sorry -- I've seen numerous threads QQ'ing about how gimped BLMs feel during movement-intensive fights. I just don't get it. Between FS/TC proccs, Swiftcast, Scathe, Manawall, and Aeth Manip., I have yet to find a single instance where having to move has made me miss a GCD or has had a substantial impact upon my DPS. There are (to my knowledge, both through empirical data and research) no fights that require 100% movement throughout the entire fight.

LOL! This comming from a FULL AF Black Mage with not even a primal weapon. Tells me you haven't done any end game boss battles.
