However I also full recognise that the moment you delete Verraise you're going to have people banging on the doors of SE headquarters demanding it back.

But saying that "selfish jobs are fundamentally flawed" or whatever you're going on about is just being salty. Look, I want to run double caster comps. What I don't want is the current situation where the DPS composition has a slot locked to PCT.

Hell, you could even buff RDM to compete with BLM and I'll still play BLM for the love of the job. But this ridiculous saltiness about BLM just makes you look bad.
But this has nothing to do with double caster comps

You are basically saying “I support double caster comps existing so why are you so salty about BLM” when the problem isn’t so much melee preference disfavouring double caster it’s the fact that the concept of selfish DPS is inherently flawed because the other person has basically fully agreed with our assessment that there is no situation in which BLM should ever be anything but first amongst the casters because it brings nothing but damage.

This is just as toxic to BLM as it is to the other casters because no only does it mean the other casters will always be weaker than BLM it also leads to the current situation BLM is in where “if it’s not first it’s last” because since BLM has nothing but it’s damage if it isn’t first in damage by definition it’s functionally useless

This problem also applies to SAM and VPR as well
