BLM needs some love and RDM needs a nerf

*Looks at fight data from raid group. Sees BLM sitting at the same DPS as RDM and MNK on multiple different fights (all new Omega, Lakshmi EX, Susano EX) on multiple runs.*

...BLM needs love and RDM needs a nerf. Wut? Have you compared the classes against others of the same level? I mean, I know our group comp is weird (PLD, WAR, AST, SCH, RDM, MNK, BLM and BRD), but sans the BRD, everyone sits at the same DPS. A SAM friend was pulling more DPS than us, but we were all evenly geared with optimal melds. Our SCH also plays SMN, but until she's about geared as us, or I'm partied with a SMN of equal skill level and gear, I can't really tell how good or bad they are currently. A friend is saying it's top DPS; due to reasons, I largely believe him. I mean, when I first started playing RDM, I felt it was a little OP, but as I started doing fights with the raid, I found we mostly fell into the same area on amounts we did and I suddenly didn't feel so OP.

RDM is mostly punished when they "need" to wait for mechanics to happen to pull of their melee range combo- or run the risk of having their mana the same amount and messing up their priorities a bit.
