We haven't seen a truly difficult fight yet. I try to imagine keeping Enochian up and doing acceptable DPS in a fight designed like T9. BLM would be at such a significant disadvantage compared to almost everyone else. I think this is the core of the complaints; BLMs can see this coming.

And I would say that it is. You should level BLM to 60 and see for yourself.

Personal attacks are not a good way to argue. Additionally, melee DPS are top tier because of their associated high risk. Sure, BLMs are good in Ravana. That doesn't change the fact that melee DPS have a higher DPS output and BLM's is average while also carrying a very high risk. BLM and SMN are close on a dummy, but increasing BLM DPS to match their risk makes them completely outclass SMN again, which no one wants. That's why I propose cutting back on BLM risk instead with QoL changes.

Now we're getting somewhere. This is exactly what I stated in my first post: the QoL issues HaroldSaxon proposes are what is needed, in my opinion.
