    I'm not entirely convinced that even stacking with Foe's, a 10% boost in SMN and BLM single target would overpower them even if it does stack with Foe's. Based on the numbers I am currently seeing, SMNs and BLMs are doing around 1100-1200 single target while the melees are over 1500 (with a bard in the group). A 10% boost to the magic users would put them in the realm of 1200-1350 single target.

    Also keep in mind, realistically a DRK is going to be able to keep this on one enemy, so situations like A1S where SMNs see higher numbers because they can DOT both Oppressors, they will only see a boost from one Oppressor. And of course this isn't much of a boost in AE fights like A2S and can't really be applied to add heavy fights either. Foes would continue to be the far superior option here.

    Of course healers will see a damage boost as well so there is always that as a factor. But again, keep in mind here the idea is to boost raid effectiveness so that is kind of the point here. Does 10% stacking boost increase raid damage too much overall with a DRK in a party? Maybe. Drop it down to 5% if that is the case(which might not be a bad idea because then it make sense for Foe's to overwrite this. It could stack with MCH still though and then a MCH+DRK party would get a similar benefit to when a BRD is around). And again, as mentioned if there are stacking concerns then this game has dealt with debuff stacking plenty of times so I don't really see this concern a huge issue here as well.
