6.28 Patch Notes

[Rithy255]

I meant for speed clears mainly. In prog, its still fine between smn/rdm yeah.

Speed clears shouldn't really be a issue or focus of balancing really, Theirs always going to be small inbalances and for speed clears the only thing that matters is damage. Outside of Progression BLM might be slightly better? but at that point it's not going to matter, because DPS checks get easier with better gear (something you'll have after clearing) unless your group is a speed run group, but again theirs always going to be a select few "meta jobs" for speed clears, I personally don't see a Issue with that.

It came across (to me) as more in general that BLM would invalidate SMN/RDM in general. But If it's only good at invalidating SMN/RDM for speed optimisations then that's a good point. Because it does, I don't know what the solution would be then to remove utilities on smn/rdm and mobility on smn... which i feel defeats the purpose of having different role types if they're going to bring the same thing and same sort of mobility/utility

Casters are always going to be weird to balance, SMN mobility, both "utilities" smn/rdm give vs damage output on BLM is always going to be a tough balancing act, as you dont want BLM to do so much damage that it makes smn/rdm useless, but you also don't want SMN/RDM utility so strong it invalidates a BLM.
