The only powerful BLM burst comes from getting a firestarter/thundercloud proc, and tacking it on right after a fire. Two solid hits in half a second, still not enough to take off half of someone's HP. And then it's followed by 2 full GCD before the next spell lands. Every other dps can do strong bursts as well, and most while immobilizing the target in the process for 5+ seconds.

The only reason for that 1 over a BLM is AoE sleep. AoE nukes just make AoE cures more efficient. Brd/mnk/nin don't have abilities that can interrupt a spell besides their normal attacks all of a sudden? I'm not sure who's asking to be able to survive the onslaught of 4 people, just to be able to finish a spell without being interrupted by someone on the other team sneezing. Name one other dps class that can be completely shut down by a brd in autoattack mode.
