They are gutting Black Mage even more in 7.2

Current Black Mage is irrelevant on a foundational level. 'Buffing it's strength' isn't going to make Black Mage any less likely to be excluded from a static recruitment, especially when it's also the job with the widest variation in performance between individual players. It doesn't matter if you're some God-tier raider on Black Mage, if what you bring to the table serves little value otherwise.

Why should I trust a random BLM main, when I can instead trust the Summoner to put out more consistent and respectable damage, and bring utility as well?

The solution for you is to turn black mage into summoner, because people like you can't handle unique job design with visible strengths and weaknesses

Excluding a black mage without seeing how they perform in the party is just ridiculous in the first place, even if you wanted a utility rez caster you know black mage can fill in for melee... as their whole point is they deal high damage like melees do.

The person you're responding to does not do any form of end game content. They are not excluding BLM/making party decisions because they don't do anything that would require it. They're just a little armchair kid that doesn't matter. Don't give them your time.

Ah makes sense for these forums, thanks for the heads up.
