Why is BLM getting a buff?

Sorry to say that IMO above was a wrong statement.

I think BLM should have the highest Single/AoE DPS, the trade off is interuptable casting.
When everyone is not moving, by what reason BLM should have lower dps than others? ^^;

I'm surprised BLM is not already the highest damage-dealing class. The fact that you can be interrupted mid-cast, coupled with the reliance of moving around all over the place in high level bosses, mean that improving BLM damage will not suddenly make it OP across the board, it simply will mean that their damage, in high level contents, be similar to other classes.

So we can be interrupted, are squishy, and STILL have lower damage.

Unless Firestarter and Thundercloud procs all the time

Fair enough on the BLM buffs because of "movement" but there are other jobs who also have this problem such as Monk and Dragoon, not their own movement but rather the error text and half animations that appear when trying to chase down moving enemies >.>

I think BLM dps during high movement fights is ok, it's just the overall damage from blm on single target that is imo poorer.

I.e. weaker damage when standing still to dps compared to the other classes.
