As a Bard, the one thing you never want to see when entering roulette is a second Bard. Or a Machinist. We do not compliment each other well at all. D:

I love coming across a BLM or SMN, though. Gives me a chance to spam Foes, and you'll never see me complaining about that. Love you BLM/SMNs~<3

At least now bard has a DPS LB. I remember getting double bard all the time back when they had healer LB and it was just *drags hands down face*. I still really prefer not to have two BRDs even post HW but its not near as disappointing. It just feels like they still do the least damage of any other doubled up DPS in 4 mans and god forbid one or both of them is only a mediocre BRD to begin with. Suddenly fights drag on forever.

Every job has its niche really.

DRG brings battle litany and piercing debuff for the ranged DPS.

NIN brings slashing debuff for tanks, WAR in particular.

MNK can save DRK from wasting Potency by applying INT debuff.

SMN is just great utility and DPS all around.

The only job I find doesn't bring much to the table is BLM. Even back when flare was still relevant.

Nin brings trick attack, a smart nin will ask war to keep slashing debuff up so they can do more dps, also agro transfer skill is really nice to allow tank to go full dps mode on bosses.

MNK/DRK thing, delirium is our strongest potency attack when we don't have mp for dark arts, other than the first 45 or so seconds of a fight where we have a ton of mp to spare there is 0 issue keeping delirium applied to a boss for any drk.

And I would have to agree about the BLM thing but only because good BLMs seem so rare nowadays you are much more likely to find ones pulling sub 500 dps

Higher single-target DPS? High burst? Support abilities?

BLM brings Apoc which is stronger for one target than Supervirus with a longer cooldown (useful for tank busters, prey and the like).

BLM has manaward which although has been nerfed since 2.0 makes them easier to heal than other ranged dps for certain mechanics like prey, handling adds, etc.
Similarly, manawall, when used properly adds to their survivability while other ranged classes simply don't have a comparable ability (Second Wind would be most comparable and not even all physical dps can cross-class it).
Regular Virus is also available for physical tank busters and raid-wide attacks.

And movement in all fights, at least up to A3S IMExp, is overrated and mostly unneeded.

The problem is *most* BLMs don't use any of these abilities at all.

As a MNK I love having a SMN as the other DPS in dungeons (Expert roulette ones). Had some very fast clears that way. MNK+SMN power combo!

Double SMN would be really good too, I'm guessing.

In general, I don't think there's any DPS that -isn't- welcome, as long as it's played well. Double BRD/MCH in a dungeon will be a bit slower, but I had it multiple times levelling my MCH and it wasn't all that bad.

Well black mage brings major destruction, that is enough no?
