    BLM is putting out decent damage, but by SE's own logic, since it provides little utility, it should be the strongest damage caster, and it's not (single target), SMN is. That being said, giving Fire IV a flat potency buff would be unwise, I think, as it is definitely still strong (we don't want to break it in the other direction either).

    This is why I think damage utility out of the umbral hearts or damage utility out of triplecast would be the best strategy; it rewards planning and thinking ahead but isn't just faceroll damage increase.

    Edit: I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a "world class" BLM as I don't personally do a ton of straight number crunching, but I've raided all of coil/all of savage on it at a reasonably fast rate with various groups, so I think I can authoritatively say this. A BLM played properly is not quite hitting SAM numbers, but is very close. If a RDM is doing more dummy damage than a BLM something is wrong (although RDM is definitely strong)
