No, BLM is only preferred for 8 minute WPSR. Only when there's consistently 5+ targets. A well-geared run with SMN/BRD will only take 10-11 minutes, and that's because with a SMN you can skip the same trash pack as BLM due to Tri-Disaster.

Everywhere else, SMN is, or should be, preferred. You don't generally see 5+ target pulls elsewhere, because you either use cannons, or do death-runs. If people are preferring BLM right now, it's just because of the WP hype. It's the same thing affecting WARs right now--With their negative hype. They can function just fine in, relatively, all content. The only 2 things they are absolutely barred from is 8-10 minute WPSR and Turn 5. If you ask the community, though, they're **** and should never be used.

As for Tri-Disaster, it can be in part with sleep to hold the mobs, but that's not the point here.

The point I was making is that BLM can dish aoe dmg at a faster pace than a SMN, as I explained, a blm can do Flare (for big dmg) back to back in a short fight, AND still get MP back to continue a fire aoe dmg rotation. Where as SMN can't dish that type of dmg at a fast pace as BLM can.

I have experienced in both BLM and SMN and I can tell you the comparison I made is true.

Now, I noticed that you don't have blm leveled to 50, so it can be hard to understand what I'm saying from that point of view.
