BLM DPS

[Turtledeluxe]

I'm of the opinion that if you increase the damage to the BLM it's for pure satisfaction in seeing the parse. If sqe boosts it, I don't pull my hair out, because I'm not against its boost, but I just find it useless.

I'm of the opinion that boosting it would mean more people play the class, more people participate in Savage/Ultimate with the class, instead of being an "experts only club". And I'm not saying that because I personally suck at the class-- I actually find it easy to play. The reason I began thinking about utility in the first place is because if I am the last to survive in a party, I can't res anyone, so my high DPS is effectively useless for completing the fight (depending on the situation) as a BLM cannot sustain prolonged damage on the level of say, a WAR, or any melee with self healing. BLM has a single defensive measure with a long recast. I'm of the opinion that if you've mastered BLM to the point where you can have high DPS in an Ultimate fight, you deserve to be rewarded with at minimum equivalent DPS to whoever the number 1 spot is.

No I'm not denying it, I'm just sizing it up. because the considerations that statics make are also these: am I interested in having the ress or having more damage? So clearly having a utility is an advantage, but also having more damage it is. If the blm had the same damage as the rdm then I would agree with you but it doesn't.

Yes and I think data shows us over time, they choose utility. Unless I am misunderstanding and I am happy to be corrected.
