I am a Black Mage, but I have played with decent SMN's. (and many poor ones that do FAR less damage)

If BLM's are doing the same damage as you, you are simply under performing in comparison to them.

Currently for almost all coil/priamls (except T4/Garuda), a "Good SMN" will out dps a "Good BLM" by a significant amount.

I hope it is a lot close after the patch, that's the whole point...

SMN has far superior utility (SC-Raise in fight), nobody would chose a "Good SMN" over a "Good BLM" in a raid team as thing stand, a lot even exclude BLM's totally, many BLM being asked to roll SMN for T9.
