Why is BLM getting a buff?

[NyneAlexander]

Honestly bring the exceptionnal parses. There's little to none ways to do it and you ll never be able to catch up a summoner in any turn unless you re in turn 8 as a dragoon ... then again a monk will absolutely destroy you, so will do some of these crazy summoners out there.

Not gonna complain about the dps of the class because its pretty high and it burst hard and its the whole purpose of it, but exceptionnal damage ? it can be really good, thats true. But far to be exceptionnal

We take 5 dps in to T8: DRG, DRG, BLM, SMN, BRD. The DRGs are constantly on the top of the DPS chart. SMN is close. Then BLM and BRD, but BRD is constantly singing TP and MP, as well as taking care of homing missile.

DRG have a lengthy rotation, sure, but you have high burst and the sustainability to push for top (or close to top, depending on the pt make up) DPS in an 11 minute fight. You also have pretty great AoE if you know what you're doing. I actually prefer a Tank, WHM, BLM, DRG setup for speed runs if the DRG knows his stuff.

I don't have the parse screen shots for coil as I'm currently at work, but the T8 numbers for our DRGs are usually over 400. Our SMN is usually at 380-400. And BLM is usually at 300-330. Its not even close.

Over 400 with ilvl100 minimum right or pentamelded gear otherwise there's no way to achieve that, while any monk at ilvl100 will do 440+, same for truelly good summoners.

As I said, drags can do high dps but not exceptionnal one
