The math on the % damage difference is a few pages back, you can look for it, not linking it lol. Granted blms still do more for sure but the point is, is that those calculations were off, not really intentionally though.

Gotta say though with all this blm is king of aoe fight stuff floating around, I think people need to look at how scary a well played nin or drg is in aoe. in shiva ex i finally saw four digit dps during adds (cumulative, not in the moment) but don't worry the nin was about 100 behind me at the time... shits ridiculous lol. Despite pet troubles a well played smn can potentially trump a blm in that fight, the parse numbers I've seen at least show that possibility anyway.

But on the summoner thing, I can't agree with the smns on it... Sorry I'm not against the buff, but what most suggest is simply too much.
