Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

If a machinist and blm are of equal standing, acting independently of the party, operating at a lower level of play, in the context of the meta comp, the machinist would do lower dps than the blm because their damage is reliant on optimising external factors which a low-play mchs won't know how to do. Anyways, where are the arguments against how the meta comp is more rewarding to each individual player, rather than just spewing out reasons why it's better.

Each player's sense of contribution and reward differs, so it's better not to go with subjective arguments.

Bad BLMs deal less personal dps than bad MCHs lol, what are you saying would make sense if BLM/Sam were enough ahead to the point where the meta classes need to play perfect to outdps them, it just isn't the case basically using TA as soon as it comes off cooldown and everyone playing in any way they want will give at the very least 1,6% rDPS the difference between SAM/BLM and NIN is just not big enough to cover a poorly optimized Trick Attack.
