SE are leaving BLM to rot by giving SMN and RDM even more utility

[Bhearil]

Considering how BLM has never been one of the neglected jobs (actually quite the opposite compared to the other 2 casters that had quite a lot of messy periods) id say the job is perfectly fine. To put the extreme of saying "RDM can 6 man revive on row" under perfect circunstances and rendered useless later due no not having more MP until lucid dream comes back again is like saying that BLM can "potentially" direct crit their spells during the next 30 seconds and pull far ahead from anyone else.

In any case at most what we have now is that if X job have good or bad aditions to their kit. And even if their kit is good, if they are neutered numbers wise they will end neglected by the community due to SE failing to measure the job properly.

The exact oppposite is what happened with Monk on early ShB: Their kit was garbage, but their overbuffed their potency so much to compensate that it was a no brainer to bring one despite crappy gameplay due to how much they overperformed, and continued until they brought other dps jobs to similar levels which was when the monk player numbers quickly deflated and players went back to jobs with more functional(and fun) kits

On DPS jobs unlike other jobs like Tanks where you can already see if one is gonna be god or bad (unless they overbuff/nerf a lot compared to what we have now), the final adjustments in values can make or break a job
