    That is incredibly untrue.
    Class A does personal damage of 600, but gives everyone a 200 DPS buff.
    Class B does personal damage of 800, but gives no one a buff.
    That is balanced, because even though Class B sits at 1000 when buffed, class A has increased everyone's damage to a total of 1600.

    Class B literally cannot exist if you buffed Class A within the 2 to 3% range of it. Simply because that 2 to 3% difference is negligible through the raid wide contribution.
    So for what purpose would you ever put Class B in the game, when Class A can perform almost as perfectly, but has the additional benefit of a raid wide buff?
    That is completely detrimental to the game and reduces the variety of what the players can use.
    If you want to be support, then it makes sense your personal damage isn't as high.

    Don't misunderstand, if there was a HUGE gap, well over 10%, I would agree with changes needing to be made, but based off that percentile, BLM is above RDM/SMN by single digits.
