How's BLM looking?

[Shayuki]

Red Mage is a different story... this one will be dual casting 200+ potency nukes, so its DPS in single target will be incredibly high. But this one lacks any real clear AoEs so will be limited to Single Target only.

From what i can see Red Mage may turn out to be slightly higher in Single Target. Black Mage will have Strong Single Target and Top rated AoEs... Summoner will lag behind both.

How exactly do you gather this, especially by using this logic? Red Mage's spells would be in the 240-300 potency range per GCD, a bit over 280 on average. Fire IV with Enochian is a 491 potency spell, for example. And Foul is 682.5 potency, every 30 seconds. Red Mage can on avarage melee after 17 GCDs(41s with 2.4s GCD) of build up or so, far less often than Black Mage can cast Foul. So I don't really see how Red Mage's DPS is looking "incredibly high", or higher than BLM's. I would even go as far as to say that outside of Red Mage's melee combo, their DPS will be closer to Black Mage in Umbral Ice than Astral Fire.
