BLM DPS

[Turtledeluxe]

"Every poster suddenly is a high Percentile performing BLM

It isn't high enough dps relative to others to make them feel unique or essential to any fight, and you know that. Other classes are either too self sufficient, add too much utility to the party, or do viable damage to offset any high damage a BLM might do with all the many conditions that need to happen in their favor.

And as for play-rate comparison? that's cause BLM is regarded as 1 of if not the most difficult DPS job, and players gravitate to the easiest.

I already addressed this when discussing Reaper. Reaper is more popular than BLM because it has more utility and it's easier to play. It's just that simple. So the answer to that, is to widely separate their DPS, whether that means nerfing Reaper or buffing BLM. It's just that simple. If people don't like that, then don't play an easy class with utility (Reaper). Everything is about trade offs. For knowing the fight up and down, positioning yourself flawlessly, nursing Enochian constantly, etc you should be rewarded with indisputably higher damage than a class that can heal itself/buff other players/self buff/shield itself/ do pretty good dmg with ease. Otherwise parties don't need you. That's the answer people don't want to hear because they have an expert BLM in their static who kills it every time.

Have u been kicked or denied to join any party or group regarding Raiding?

No, I haven't been kicked out as I am relatively new but a. I know other players b. I can see examples in party finders where they aren't wanted c. I main BLM and interact with the playerbase and the expectation for us is sometimes very different and d. I have access to google. It's impossible to deny that while BLM may be welcome to raids most of the time, there's much less room for error sometimes. I've have had negative experiences in Practice raids and even casual content where people make comments about DPS with the sort of attitude that is exactly in line with what you are saying--- "Well BLM has good gameplay and high damage naturally, how is their DPS not immediately crushing everyone's?" and I've seen comments in Alliance Raids not aimed at me that were negative. You're literally doing it right now-- "Well I have a BLM in my static and they crush my DPS, so you're wrong". Yet you're living in denial of countless threads I can google over time of people complaining about this very issue. There's posts from years ago saying the same thing-- BLM participation is low...why? Your answer to this question is "oh well other classes are just easy to play" -- no. That's a partial answer. The real answer is that BLM is harder to play and there's no reward in it, because other classes will still be more desirable due to what they bring to the fight and how, and due to their damage buffs SE has handed out like candy.
