>In farm/reclears, You've already beaten the fight no one is going to care about using a BLM doing a extra "1%" because you likely got gear, less mistakes are going to happen ect, at that point no one will really care aslong as the job you got gets it done.

I think this really hits a problem with casters, while the uniqueness and design choice of certain casters bringing utility vs damage is good, it's not really balanced at all, for classes such as BLM, you can't have one job do practically everything that BLM already brings, has mobility, utility ect. then give the BLM a tiny damage advantage that's also not "good balance"
And it has been said to you times and times again that no, "no one will care" is not the case. Both from the point of the rest of the group caring about it and forcing people to swap and both from the point of the player themselves, knowing that they can be doing more damage even if they were quite bad at BLM compared to perfect play RDM/SMN.
