Why is BLM getting a buff?

[Orophin]

As the initial post said. Any content you want AoE, use blm. Any content you want single dps, use Smn.

Why can't people just play what they like instead of what does better damage? People don't want to feel like they're holding back their group by underperforming due to factors outside of their control.

There are only a couple of instances where BLM can even realistically AOE in the new raid content: middle briars and leftover slugs on T6, Dreadnaught + Avatar on T8, and van Darnus + Dragon if you're solo tanking on T9. Otherwise, BLM is at a disadvantage in some of these movement-heavy fights.
