I don't want to be dealing as much damage as Reaper on BLM, I want to deal more damage because I have no raid utility and because it's more difficult to play and less forgiving.
If I have to put a billion times more effort into it than when I am playing Reaper then yeah I want that to matter.

The cool thing about BLM too is that there is a more significant difference between a good BLM player, an okay one and a bad one.
BLM scaling really well with player skill has always been a great thing imo.
But that scaling also needs to be rewarding.
