no you just provided "math" that just showed you use the most basic of numbers XI had more skills (wether or not they were actually used was discarded) and the sub job system (which yet again was number crunched down to optimal setups) and ignored the crux of the matter...actual gameplay mechanics. again the rabbit hole GAMEPLAY wise for BLM was the elemental wheel, the magic burst system, and that's about it. you can't use POTENTIAL mechanics that were never used (and never existed) to buoy your arguement. if they weren't used then they effectively didn't exist. Potentially BLM in could be stated and geared to be a healer in XIV, but you'd be ineffective so no one does it...but the potential exists, there is a thread about tanky healers...it's a potential for WHM but it's not effectiveso....no one does it. This is the same math you're using...see why it doesn't add up.
