Black Mage

[Remedi]

Those were some fixes for other problems, the fact that BLM does not do enough dmg is something that either requires SE to shift their wiew on the game or simply committing to their formula without further ado and ignoring ppl wanting dps buffs on their support jobs because they cannot see the greater picture.

That aside I don't really think it'll avoid a meta in the competitive scene, Players will always try to find the comp that does the most mathematical dmg no matter how small the gaps.

It goes without saying that using PF to exclude some jobs atm is not really something I would endorse.
All jobs in the game are fairly ok regardless of what we believe and the metas to work require a certain amount of skill to be played something you honestly cannot expect from PUGS.

To say "all jobs are fairly okay regardless" is very misleading though. Do you think it's okay for a job to have no unique strength? Nothing which personally sets it apart from others? Because currently BLM is that.
Let me reiterate AGAIN. Because this is NOT okay.

There is no situation in the game where a black mage is not a hindrance to your team when compared to the alternative jobs you could bring.

I agree with Sfia, there is nothing you can bring a BLM and say "BLM will do this well" because any other job can just do better. Be it dungeons, progression, farm, speedruns and even casual happy maps and canals. At this moment BLM exceeds in absolute nothing even when played perfectly.
