430 dps sustained, ilv 104 with 110 weapon. Spikes at 600+ at the start. No food, no pots, no flares on dread. I know I said this already but I'll say it again: SE needs to do something about this shit, casters are OP as fuck, no reason to play melee except for the LB. That caster buff was absolutely uncalled for; even in dummy fights, my BLM was already hitting pretty close to my MNK and the BLM is less geared. The fact that the BLM was ranged and had far superior AoE more than made up for the damage difference in dummy fights.

My MNK does around 480, ilv 110 with 115 weapon. No food, no pots, no DK whore. Same tower duty, turn 2,4, and 6. My BLM with same gear, ESPECIALLY the weapon, can easily do the same, as I know many of you 110 HA weapons BLMs out know this to be true. Only reason why my MNK is so geared is cuz it was my main and I geared it up before the caster buff. I don't even touch melee anymore.

This is even worse than the situation at the start of the game, the melee buff only affected some abilities that made up a portion of their damage due to their rotation but the BLM buff affected fire and fire 3, which makes up like 80-90% of their damage cuz that's all the spam. Despite all the crying about how melee needed a buff at the beginning, casters got a bigger buff in the end, which makes no sense.
