Average BLM DPS T8?

[PenutButter]

430 dps sustained, ilv 104 with 110 weapon. Spikes at 600+ at the start. No food, no pots, no flares on dread. I know I said this already but I'll say it again: SE needs to do something about this shit, casters are OP as fuck, no reason to play melee except for the LB. That caster buff was absolutely uncalled for; even in dummy fights, my BLM was already hitting pretty close to my MNK and the BLM is less geared. The fact that the BLM was ranged and had far superior AoE more than made up for the damage difference in dummy fights.

My MNK does around 480, ilv 110 with 115 weapon. No food, no pots, no DK whore. Same tower duty, turn 2,4, and 6. My BLM with same gear, ESPECIALLY the weapon, can easily do the same, as I know many of you 110 HA weapons BLMs out know this to be true. Only reason why my MNK is so geared is cuz it was my main and I geared it up before the caster buff. I don't even touch melee anymore.

This is even worse than the situation at the start of the game, the melee buff only affected some abilities that made up a portion of their damage due to their rotation but the BLM buff affected fire and fire 3, which makes up like 80-90% of their damage cuz that's all the spam. Despite all the crying about how melee needed a buff at the beginning, casters got a bigger buff in the end, which makes no sense.

Monks out DPS BLM's in equal circumstances. Your argument is invalid.

Havent I already called you out on not having blm leveled?

No matter, the drg/monk guy in my static out dpses me (on monk) it isnt uncommon for him to be at or around 500-510 when the best I've ever mustered is 496... and let me tell you 490+ can be hard to muster where as he is much much more consistent.

Before you scream and complain about job balance, be aware that you are not top level play.

and balance should NEVER be adjusted to anything other than top level play for any game, thats a good way to really screw balance up in general.

the biggest balance disparity atm is actually monk to dragoon, a case can be made with drg being inferior to monk currently.
