I'd argue if it's not interesting enough to fully experiment, why discuss it at all?

I am interested, though. How long did your tests last? If I understand your numbers, BLMs lvl 50 opener did 80% of the damage of a Moonfluted BLU opener, while the lvl 70 opener did 116%?

Ultimately, I want to make sure my overall point isn't lost here. I'm not being difficult for fun. I'm commenting because I've looked at numbers some other players have come up with, and I've confirmed them with testing myself. This includes entering lvl 50 dungeons while level sync'd. "BLU is very weak" is considered common knowledge at this point, but I'm not seeing that in actual practice. I'm seeing a class that does completely average damage for a lvl 50 caster. When I see people saying it's so very weak, I want to verify their numbers, and possibly revise my own testing if necessary.
Not trying to be rude but at this point, go test it yourself. You're not going to listen to anything anyone else says until you do. I've spent hours switching back and forth between classes and waiting for FATES to sync my black mage for more accurate results. Your turn.
