A Change to BLM That Can Really Help Out

I'm just saying 11k red mages bumbling around is going to lower average and give an unclear representation

To be fair the number of parses are so skewed that data means very little atm

3k black mages vs 11k rdm players, some probably horrible

Not only are the numbers causing misrepresentations, the meta is catered too much towards the double melee (catering for SAM). However, If we can get double caster groups BLM and RDM numbers can go higher.

In case people arne't aware, the standard, no LB penalty setup is: 1 Melee, 1 Physical Ranged, 1 Caster Ranged and 1 "other" DPS. The other DPS can be a melee, a caster or physical ranged as long as no class duplicates.

So setups like SMN + BLM/RDM or DRG + BRD + MCH + RDM can skew the other DPS numbers closer to SAM's.

Not really true because i selected 95% performance rating that's equate to almost the highest ceiling the class able to give. Having more lower skill RDM on average don't matter because they are not in the sample. You may in disbelieve that BLM is currently is very good spot, its probably hard to accept the truth when not long ago we have been told left and right RDM is the top caster. well although misinformed at best since its result based on susano and lakshmi only.

Snip

Well agree meta group make up some what contribute to that fact. This is because currently caster buffs are not synergize as well as melee. I believe this is designed in such way due to consideration that caster has better aoe dps. And we have yet to see aoe requirement in current tier of savage deltascape. I suspect we never will..
