Originality Fail? (Some Suggestions, some ranting, mostly curious)

BLM, which is supposed to be a specialized glass cannon is out dpsed by MNK on target dummies given each player has full i90 bis and allagan weapons. I think it is fine that blm does less dmg than other jobs, but a blm should be given more utility similar to SMN, BRD, and DRG.

U do realise my bard could cry rivers to be anywhere near as good as blm at multi-target? I think best burst dps and very good single target is enough for BLM o-o

I would trade best burst dps for swift cast raise or melee dmg increased debuff in a heart beat. Burst damage in end game is hardly needed at the moment. T4 is the only end game fight where a BLM's AoE makes the fight much faster. BRD might not have the best dps, but at least they bring way more utility to the table than any other dps class.

I am just saying, would it hurt to give BLM a debuff spell that increases melee dmg or an interrupt? BLM does not even have swift cast raise. The only thing blm brings to the utility table is apocatastasis, which is less than desirable. Either give BLM utility like the rest of the DPS classes have, make way more end game boss fights that require intensive AoE, or make them the glass cannon they are supposed to be.

Expect a support/dps mage type in the future. Red mage, no doubt.
