BLM no better then other?

[Limani]

Hey people,

Thanks for your answers.

Games atm just a healer as Main and am wondering about what DPS job I choose. Bard is out of the question for me. So Dragoon, BLM, Summoner Monk and would stand for election. Range or Meele does not matter. My FC only needs necessarily someone who does good DPS for T6-T9. Single target is more important than I think because AOE.

Hope you can help me with helpful answers and no Flames

Every single class brings something to a group !

BLM : AOE King, good ST damage after buff, increased DPS with Foe, can use Virus and Eye for an Eye. Cons : has to be immobile to bring max dps, only 1 offensive CD, rely on procs.
SMN : High DPS, mobile with Ruin2 when dots are up, high utility (EfE, Virus, Raise). Cons : Rotation significantly harder than BLM, burst given by Aetherflow stacks.

BRD : Highest utility in the game (Foe, Ballad, Paeon, Silence), good dps with high burst (5 offensive CD), best mobility (often used for a lot of mechanics ). Cons : ??? (No LB ?)

DRG : High dps on ST, best burst of the game (Blood for Blood gives +30%dmg), stuns (every 20s + spineshatter), Disembowel for increased dmg (for drg and bards). Cons : VERY position dependent for your combo.
MNK : Best DPS on ST, with slow acceleration, but top final speed. Cons : almost no AOE, no ranged attack, GL conservation is crucial.
