How's BLM looking?

[Greedalox]

I'm only comparing BLM and SMN because they are the two magical DPS classes...

So you'd have no issue having absolute garbage sub 300 single target DPS as long as you beat BLM's? That's silly thinking. Balance is all about the relations between the classes and how compositions piece together, not just a personal rivalry with another caster class.

Did it ever occur to you that's more like a bait and switch... sell them one thing, then snatch it and replace it with something completely different?

That sounds like a conspiracy theory- tinfoil hat type stuff. SE has literally (literally) nothing to gain from players playing SMN or BLM. They don't make money off you equipping a staff or a book.

It's just pointless rearranging for the sake of rearranging.

I'd bet an arm and a leg you wouldn't be on a tirade if the pointless rearranging for the sake of rearranging put your class (SMN) leaps and bounds above where it was at.
