Mm, by the numbers, including class use rates both in savage/ultimates and outside, BLM is in anything but ideal shape.

There's only 1 class less played than Black Mage right now, and it's nowhere close to ideal. Or, to put it another way, they made BLM the literal best DPS class in the game and people still aren't playing it. That should say a lot about the state the class is actually in.
