BLM DPS

[Turtledeluxe]

I never said you had to divorce all metrics, I just said you had to be careful when comparing DPS metrics.

What's the point of stating this when it's obvious that someone should consider things carefully before saying them?

How a player feels when playing the job has no impact on the DPS metric and so is not relevant to the discussion of whether BLM should get a DPS boost or not.

You are confused. It matters how players feel about the class, whether they are the class or not. And BLM looks and feels redundant given that it does good damage under very specific conditions and depending on player expertise. That's why the thread exists, and you cannot form an answer to it except "well aDPS..."

Yes, a job having utility can make it a viable option over another, I never disputed that.

Exactly.
