Standings of Black Mage, Red Mage, and Summoner

[ADVSS]

I don't care about lore I care about balance in the game

Blm has no raise, no utility, and less dps than the zip around meth mages?

And for the arguing and throwing his lore epeen on table. Every class has at least one lore breaking something or other. Show me one part in story where anyone says a black mage is incapable of healing or raising?

I agree BLM should get a buff if the comparisons to RDM are true and seem to be. But Physick on a BLM was stupid to begin with. All of their utility pre SB got pushed to the cross role system. Before then, it had unique utility. So yeah, sure give it something, but not a raise, or heal. They should be the SAM of the casters, really.Big nukes, destruction, boom!

In fact....Drain should be a BLM exclusive, with a bold potency enhancement, neither other caster needs it for a self heal. Pretty sure SMN Energy Drain is a better ability, could be wrong though

If were talking just for the heal Vercure > Drain > Energy Drain. Unless a Summoner needs the MP as well, using Energy Drain is worse than using Drain and Fester, Energy Drain's Aetherflow stack cost essentially brings it below Drain.
