Lacking? yeah sure we don't have bard silence or SMN mobility, but guess what...no one in the game burst harder and no DPS class is absolutely independent of everyone else in the group other than the BLM.

I make my healers life easier by almost never needing them to ever worry about me (except turn 4, 5 can go f itself). I also do stupid amount of damage and in every possible way, dot, single target and AOE.
