    Where are you getting your numbers from? BLM does a lot more than a bard playing songs and most certainly more if they are standing still. If you're doing less than a bard playing any song, you should really read up on your class. I've seen BLMs pull 420+ on T6, 330+ on T7, 430+ on T8, 310+ on T9. A lot of people keep comparing it to Monks but those high DPS monks are being enabled to do so, without the enabling of letting them ignore certain mechanics and getting TP song because they are burning through it, there's no way they can maintain it.

    For the people who think that 20 potency isn't a lot...smh.

    That and alot of monks keep "forgetting" to add that they have another monk doing the Dragonkicks for them.
    While we do have the highest ST damage the boost we gain with another monk on dragonkick duty is ridiculous.

    Why does melee need anything aside from QoL changes?
    Area of Effect.

    Ridiculous? Oh please. We had to replace our 2nd MNK who does the DKs on T8 for a week some time ago with a DRG and oh boy did my DPS drop an immense amount of 10 DPS overall. It's a measly advantage at best. What the high-parsing monks most likely are usually omitting though is that they aren't concerning themselves with mechanics during the fight.

    My problem with the BLM class is that its DPS is too dependend on Bard. People who get 420+ on T6 have requiem up all the time, probably with a battlevoice in a 4 minute battle. It tells you little about their skill. I would much rather be dependend on myself than on another class. Because of BLM's damage being dependend on Bard's Requiem, a discrepancy exists in the DPS between BLM. One that is not due to the BLM itself but external factors. Actually, if one would change the requiem skill in a way that it would up the Bard's damage, you would see a drastic change
