Why is BLM getting a buff?

[ToffeeCoffee]

I consent to SMN being nerfed. Sick of everyone saying how OP it is, how Garuda does all the work, etc. and every man and his dog jumping on the bandwagon. Do it please so all the pretenders can go roll something else. There needs to be strengths and weaknesses to each class without any being significantly disadvantaged. You can't just give every class the same variety of AOE and single target damage or little will differentiate them. They should all have fun aspects and be appealing for different reasons. If ranged dps is generally considered so easymode for everyone, make ranged dps work harder so numbers balance out.
With addition of the new pets for SMN I hope you are bringing new and exciting things to other classes also to keep everybody interested.

I agree each class needs strengths and weaknesses, so lets compare BLM and SMN stregnths and weaknesses for end game content (Content that rewards i95+ gears):

If equally geared and skilled a SMN will likely do considerably more DPS for:

Coil Turn 5
Levi Ex
Moogle Ex
Second Coil T6
Second Coil T7
Second Coil T8
Second Coil T9

If equally geared and skilled a BLM will likely do more DPS for:
