goad outside aoe have no utility, when the mana shift can help a healer that is low in mana because of rez and such...in long fight, with the different reduction of cost of tp they have give, invigorate is enough.
and feint most of the time don't work on most monster around.... they are junk skill mostly aimed to pvp since they don't want to make debuff a thing important.

they are balanced around any buff they can bring to the group, from yoshida himself and more important about the fact that the fight can affect your capacity to dps. the blm and such deal more damage per skill for this reason, for cover the time when they need to move. at how much hit a fire 3 or fire 4? you will see that outside midare, most of our skill will be far below... and even midare is asking for a huge setup of 8 GCD (if you don't use meikyo) what ask fire 4? enochian, that can be keep forever now and just a simple fire 3 for get the 3 stack.... 1gcd and 1 skill out gcd... blm have a good dps, that is fiting is role... people need to stop to expect the blm to be top dps, it will never happend, if that was happening it will be the death of every melee.

we had this situation at the release of ARR, when the raid was ranged only... every melee not taken, because the difference in damage was not enough for cover the damage they was expected to take. too much risk not enough gain.

plus i have already pointed that the difference of dps is not that important between ranged and melee, only the sam get a lot more, but for get it, it ask setup and perfect execution. what is far to be simple in many fight.

but i digress...all this debat is because the meta did changed and people hate change... they wasn't expecting a new top dps from the new jobs, big deal if it was not the sam it will have been the monk like always. and in the end, what is important is not the meta but what your group decide to bring, they can play it safe and take only ranged dps and still do well. depending of the skill of the player they can even beat a team that have the "perfect" team. people need to stop to act like children... some jobs really need work on, and the blm is not one of them.

DRG, SMN and MCH need to be worked on, DRK need to be worked on... SCH need some love too...
but blm don't...
