BLM needs some love and RDM needs a nerf

[Amulrei]

Call me simplistic but am I the only one looking at the parses and wondering what the devil some people are complaining about? BLM does more damage than RDM potentially but RDM can surpass them on fights like Lakshmi which are huge AoE dumps and highly demanding movement requirements. So... What is the problem exactly?

Different classes do better/worse at different encounters and if you look at the numbers, the difference is trivial to say the least. I am really not grasping this whole logic of why BLM must be the top caster of every single fight or sky going to suddenly start falling.

IMO, the only casters that have any grounds to complain is SMN and even that is less to do with the damage output and more about how sadistically unforgiving it is to play.
