Either SMN and RDM should lose their Raise or BLM should get a Raise.

I have a better solution. How about the devs ignore everyone whining about not being top DPS and let they supposedly selfish DPS jobs do, you know, top DPS? Black Mage would be fine if it did substantially more damage than its counterparts; same for Samurai. For whatever reason, the devs fell right back into the HW conundrum with Monk and now all three jobs have suffered.

Or people could stop acting like meta is needed to clear anything. Just remember drk was world first for ultimate, that isn’t meta. Play what you want and stop caring so much about meta.

Why do people always resort to this argument? I wager few here give a hoot about meta. They just want to feel like their job has a niche. Right now, they are being out done by a hybrid caster when their whole purpose is to be the selfish DPS that does massive damage. What your argument boils down to is "screw balance, so long as it can clear things." That's FFXI logic, which led to people blocking certain jobs out of parties for being deemed "worthless." We've already starting to see that in PFs.
