    This is strange, I have been sitting at a test dummy for the past while, and testing my BLM and SMN. On paper SMN looks really good, better than BLM. Here is some of my test results (SMN and BLM have identical gear except for weapon which is ballpark)

    SMN all 4 dots tick damage
    Bio/Bio2/Miasma/Thunder = tick damage is average 345 per 3 seconds, 289 scaled down to 2.5 seconds (GCD)
    Rune damage is 184 = 2.5 GCD
    Garuda damage is 190 = 160 scaled to 2.5 GCD

    So, every 2.5 seconds , if I have all 4 of my dots tick, a Rune hit, and Garuda hit, scaled down to 2.5 seconds
    160+184+289 = 633

    My BLM Fire normal hits for 668 average. So, in reality it seems as the BLM does more damage per GCD than SMN. To bad parsers are so inaccurate for this game to get real answers.
