Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

Or you take a caster that can play Melee well. Flexibility when going for Server or even World Firsts is nice. Obviously this is in a perfect world scenario and you can't gear up multiple classes, but I guess that's what alts are for.

Wish I was in the position to be able to do it, would be fun.

I think BLM and SMN do comparable DPS to NIN/DRG in the majority of fights where that is not necessary. Depending on your group, you may have to switch out a caster for a melee main if another melee DPS would make a difference. Some mechanics can definitely be harder to execute with 3 melees.

But they don't buff the DPS of other party members. So for group DPS, they don't. And if you run a MCH with hypercharge (which you really should) will mean you get more out of it.
