BLM needs some love and RDM needs a nerf

[Symon17]

I'm not sure why everyone is so focused on potency buffs/nerfs. Rdm has the lowest damage potential of the casters on a dummy parse. It's right behind smn, and both are a ways behind blm.

I agree blm needs some love, but there's nothing wrong with its damage potential. Any adjustments should focus on better equipping the class to realize that potential on strenuous fights. Just adding more potency on top will throw things way out of balance on turret fights, and knee-jerk nerfing rdm even lower will ensure that it will never have competitive damage, even when played properly.

With harder rotations, blm and smn may also need more time to perform to thier potential, but this doesn't seem like an issue of potency to me.
