Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

You realize you\\'re applying dps calculations and maths in a vacuum situation to actual raiding gameplay?
I\\'ve said this so many times but maths and calculators ignore so many factors involved in the performance, because it\\'s a CALCULATOR. Personal dps is a part of group dps if you haven\\'t realized btw. And I\\'m willing to bet BLM will still be at the top of DPS even by next month.

Kabooa, don\\'t ignore how BLM technically does have utility. Also "more mobility" is a part of personal dps, in which blm STILL wins.

Again, don\\'t apply math to raiding, because it\\'s not how it works in reality, and with math there will ALWAYS be a top 4 dps, if one gets buffed, he will become the new top dps. Do you see the flaw of basing everything on math? There will never be a situation where all jobs are balanced if you try and calculate things, because that\\'s the nature of math.

Blackcat's tool uses logs from actual raiding gameplay. Try again.

Listen to what YoshiP said this liveletter, stop acting like raid utility is all that matters, the personal performance of someone can also get you to victory.

Yoshi-P is wrong. Stop taking everything he says at face value and actually look at the facts.

Red Mage and Summoner have access to the same utility and bring more. Summoner quite literally loses almost nothing for it, and Red Mage is the superior choice for progression. You'd know that, I'm sure.

And this doesn't help that the "Caster" utility is in almost all ways inferior to Ranged Utility.
