BLM DPS

They will not increase the damage of the black mage for the simple and good reason that it is balanced according to the role of caster, in terms of damage potential it is very largely above the red mage and the summoner,
the black mage just shines less on boss fights which better benefits jobs with mobility.

The current problem with Endwalker is that Melee are all way too strong while they also have teambuffs and mitigation,
as the melee are all balanced between them, they are all very strong since the last balancing patch for them.

The balancing of the caster role is very strange in Endwalker for one simple reason: The Summoner''
the current summoner is in the role of caster while he is almost as mobile as a ranged physical DPS, the summoner has 3 hardcasts, and small cast per minute.

If they increase the damage of the blm they will necessarily have to buff the summoner and the red mage so as not to risk damaging the balance of these, and given the current state of the summoner that's all simply impossible to imagine an increase in its damage,
the only solution is to wait for 7.0 and pray that they reduce the mobility of the summoner to where it should be to carry the name 'Caster' and maybe at that time they can reconsider the balancing of the black mage.

You are correct-- the obvious solution is to trade off some of the damage melee currently deals since they have other benefits that BLM doesn't have. Because BLM brings nothing to the fight other than damage, it makes no sense to buff any other class that is bringing tons of utility to a fight unless their DPS is literally compromising the fight or you're crying about their position in some leader board. As I keep saying- classes should all have something unique that they bring to the fight. Can we truly say that is the case now? And if damage rebalancing is such an issue, if certain other (easy, I'm sorry) classes just can't lose any damage, then BLM needs to be awarded utility.
