Black Mage is the easiest class to play and the hardest to get high DPS because of its nature. I'm really guessing you don't have a single idea of what it means to be a black mage. I do absolutely know how to play my class. Moving as little as possible, using my procs the way they are supposed to be used, usage of Aetherial Manipulation and so on. The highest I've seen a BLM do on T8 is probably around 360 with an iLVL 110 weapon. In my guild, I have Monks and Dragoons pushing 400 DPS with iLVL 100 weapons. I push up to 350 with an iLVL 100. Do you mind proving your claims with pictures or a video? Do keep in mind as well that we are speaking of T8! The only turn where BLM can potentially stand still all of the time. On T6, T7 and T9, that is another story. Same goes for T1, 2 and 5. T4 and 8 are the only turns where a BLM might shine with the turret DPS and on T8 they get outperformed by everything but SMN. That is the norm. I am not the only one to make this claim.
