    I have to agree with Craiger on this. From what I've seen BLMs are still in the same place they were during FCOB in the BLM vs SMN relationship. Superior ST for sure. I've been running with solid BLMs in primals and they are still doing very high damage and yes beating SMNs. So idk about this claim of difficulty BLM will have. Sure it's gotten alil more difficult with things like Leylines and Enochian but I feel it's basically going to be more of the same we've seen before. Good BLMs being good, and bad ones being bad. I would not be surprised at all if people jump ship back to BLM if they see it doing superior damage in a raid setting.

    Right now a lot of people are playing SMN as a flavor of the month class. Sure it's doing great damage now, but to disregard what BLMs are currently doing and yes they have superior single target, idk what people are thinking there. Everyone likes to mention movement with BLM and sure that's a factor, but that gets cleaned up really quick once they understand the instance. Same thing with like SMNs and the MP issue they had in FCOB. There's a caster balance right now that they really shouldn't adjust. Any changes could decisively tip the scales to one side over the other. There's also the optimization of gear that will come later on. Once we start getting back to original values, like how much SS is needed for old cast times pre-heavensward, I would not be surprised at all, if BLM takes off very quickly in it's current state.
