Any percentile you check from 75% onwards (the "good" level of play), NIN, MNK, RDM and SAM beat us on average- over a large number of parses, too. Like thousands. It's not "that one group", it's a consistent thing. There's a large corpus of data supporting this.

Also, just look at that "punishment". RDM's punishment is doing their spell rotation for a few seconds while they wait for an opportunity to use corps-a-corps to dash in and do the melee finisher. The only downside is putting their burst on hold, while dpsing, and losing nothing else (they don't even have any cds they need to align).

Mine is doing literally no damage during the whole mechanic and having to hit transpose, resulting in further dps loss when I can finally cast stuff again.
SMNs lose Bahamut and are thrown back into a 2 min buildup for their burst.
Seems fair.

This isn't against you personally. I'm just putting in perspective what the other two caster jobs have to put up with for smaller returns.
