Edit: Anyway, it really shouldn't matter as long as jobs are balanced in relation to each other, which they are really well atm. If you ever get paired with a BLM in the future, you should be excited about the buffs, not bemoaning them.
Yes that was the math i was looking for as well that I had seen earlier. However I fear this will cause balance issues still. It is very true in t7 that blm have a hard time, but that is not a turn that requires high dps anyways. BLM can cross class E4E and Virus (albeit with longer cd's), so only Raise helps SMN out. In any case job balance is what I am afraid will be getting lost since no other dps classes got any type of comparable or helpful boost. It will be interesting to see the numbers blm are posting in the coming weeks in coil, through this will truly validate or invalidate anything i have said.
