SAM out classing all other DPS

i still feel (and i have said it on another thread) that we forget a few utility the blm have as caster, like the mana transfert or apocastasis

Every caster as apoc. Apocatastasis adds 0 value to BLM compared to RDM or SMN.
I answered you on the other thread, but I'll reiterate here:
BLM is unquestionably the best Mana Shifter in the game. They can afford to do it on cd with almost no loss.
That's actually not very useful at all though. It's about as useful as SAM's slashing debuff (it's useless). Neither should have much weight in balancing.
Further, as a RDM, I can afford to Mana Shift once per 3~4 minutes unless I'm rezing people left and right (but if I'm handling that, odds are my healers don't need the mana).
Plus, a BRD or MCH is a much better mp battery than we are (I never need to manashift if they're in the party).

Except that "utility" isn't what a job is balanced around. And if we're going to bring up apocatastasis and mana shift we might as well bring up Goad and Feint.
