If they're going to do a magic vuln up for BLM it should most definitely be on Blizzard IV

Also, for the record, Melee AND ranged DPS don't have Raise, so your point is moot. PLD should get one too, though.

180s recast would NOT be "garbage", you could raise a dead healer, which is significantly better than wiping in a light party and helpful in a full party, so... good work thinking that one through

The proposed Convergence sounds like a LOT of work to implement, which is fine, but that's not something they could do in 4.11, that would have to be for 5.0. Increasing/decreasing timers, potencies, or light re-scripting, on the other hand, is very doable.

@MidnightTundra: I'm confused by your response. If I'm full 340 on SMN but with susano book, then I'm full 340 on BLM too, but with Genji staff. That's the point of my statement; I was much more easily able to be much stronger on SMN even with sub-optimal stats than on BLM. This is a problem.

Gonna say it one more time for dramatic effect: No matter how much they buff any class's pure damage, classes with strong utility (see also: damage) will be favored for party play because that is what they are designed for. Unless BLM is able to do absurdly higher numbers than the contenders, IT WILL STILL BE MORE EFFICIENT TO TAKE THE CONTENDERS.
