How is BLM in new expansion?

While it's small, at its inception the DPS checks were pretty dang tight for certain things. T12, pushing 4 Bennu was pretty close first week or two (ironically SMN was the best at it then due to Blackfires having vuln up rather than HP down) and 40 DPS could be a Bennu for sure. The difference between 4 Bennu and 5 Bennu, man, not only was it a massive heal/tank survivability boost, but having to burn down another Bennu was a serious DPS sink, meaning you had to spend more time and more CDs in Bennu phase. T13, it could be an extra Flatten in P1, or the difference between seeing enrage or not seeing it in T13.

I agree that 30-40 DPS isn't a big deal in a vacuum, but when it lets you do or skip things you couldn't normally do, that was where it let you shine.

If 30 dps was such a big deal back then, it goes to show how fucked BLM is because the difference between smn and blm when movement is involved is more than 30

Spoken like someone who has never been through progression.

It's not like i have my bis extreme, ravana extreme, t1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13 kills before echo or anything.
