Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

Parsing has skewed some people's perception of it further.

First off, it's one of the worst single-target DPS jobs.

You were doing good into you went into that part of the subject.

What other job does a constant 1000-1200 damage then gets 2 procs than can crit for 1500-1800 without relying on buffs? What other job can pull off a single target AoE ability 3 times within 10 seconds that can hit its target and everything around it for 2500-3000 each time with just 1 buff?

That's the whole point of a burst design.

Black Mages aren't as bad as people make them out to be yet they do suffer the most when it comes to constant downtime since downtime is part of their rotation.
