That's the main thing that worries me. For BLM, I have no doubt it is currently viable, it's honestly not too bad in any 3.0 content (I dare say Neverreap bosses are more annoying than Bismark or Ravana EX). That said SMN is gonna wipe the floor with BLM, especially when it's actual progression and DPS checks/enrages are a thing with a lot of mechanics.

Heck, BLM I bet could keep up with SMN if you really practiced in an environment with some mechanics. Do you want to practice for hours trying to get to that point when SMN can do it better the first try and on?

Yes, because some people find BLM more fun than SMN and the game isn't all about min/maxing for first clears...
