Hi my blushing twin

Anyways, you are right. In fact I think playing BLM is like playing a MNK. Good MNKs/BLMs are hard to come by. I've seen BLMs dealing 388DPS on T8 (yeah okay, they have double flare when DN appears but it is still a largely single target fight and they have their own duties) so when played properly they aren't that bad. SMNs and BRDs are indeed more popular but that at the same time makes more amount of bad SMNs/BRDs that deals shitty dmg because they played that job just because it is more popular.
