Is BLM truly simple?

[Samano]

I play both BLM and SMN (cleared 20+ T9s combined with my alt who is also BLM/SMN) , and I gotta say for turn9 SMN takes substantially less work to achieve high dps compared to BLM, but BLM if played perfectly will out DPS SMN just because of BLM raw single target DPS potential alone. That being said, throughout the whole fight unmerged and me doing LB3 everytime, my BLM and SMN both average about 345 DPS, with my SMN highest DPS record being 350+ and BLM highest 360+.

Most of the fights in coil SMN and BLM are both very competitive, with the exception of T8 where BLM will always win because of the shear single target DPS/MP sustainability difference.
