    because math. 4xta = 40s of 10% dps inc. while if u have other dmg multiplier from like brd or drg to multiple the % dmg buff instead of extending it. avg nin dps is lower than other dps, which doesnt benefit alot more compare to the higher dps jobs that can benefit that 10%. im on my phone now and cant do all that much or il go to fflog and get the avg of ea class dps value at 50%tile(tho imo, 35%tile is the avg player for me) to compare the dps difference and do more math to it (meta comp raid dps value).
    then il say swap nin with the sams dps value and do another 4x nin (sam) raid dps to compare.

    Then the multiplicative damage buffs are the reason we won't see double or quadruple Black Mages. Bourne also provides good reasons why we wouldn't see a quadruple BLM meta ever.
