    Okay. Now we're encroaching on BLM territory because the only thing BLM offers is damage, and now its competitors do near BLM levels of damage and both have utility. Balance is against BLM unfairly.

    EDIT:

    Decided to look up my RDM compared to one of my peers' SMN, out of curiosity (both logs were in the 88th-90th percentile):
    https://xivrdps.herokuapp.com/encoun...fFcnB9ZRpT2q/2
    Total contributed DPS: 751
    DPS before contributions: 6,335
    DPS after: 6,730

    https://xivrdps.herokuapp.com/encoun...MW1cRKm3Qgzj/3
    Embolden Contributed DPS: 316.2
    DPS before contributions: 5,688
    Total damage out: 5,609

    Obviously there are other factors that go into this, as with any support, such as "How much do team members take advantage of the buffs?" However, based on at least one anecdotal comparison of high-level casters, it's plain to see SMN beats RDM out hard in both damage and utility.
