Well it's either that or blm needs a flat 5% damage boost. There's zero excuse for a utility job that can raise while having the mobility of a bard should ever compete with a blm on damage. That's just silly from a ballance perspective.

If you look at the top 25 groups for God Kefka speedkills, you will still find RDM and BLM represented. Even a 5% boost would probably catapult BLM to the very top by a wide margin.

Really, caster balance is not so far off.

But here are some jobs you will not find in that sample set:
WHM
DRK
MNK
