BLM should be the SAM of casters.

As a Red Mage player, RDM should be behind BLM in potential dps when accounting for mistakes and movement. So either RDM needs a nerf, or BLM needs a buff.

Overall, their design philosophy is heavily flawed, but I'm too lazy to really get into it. By their own words BLM should be the SAM equivalent, yet BLM is harder to perform with and more importantly the punishment for having to move is pretty huge.

It's just very clear certain jobs are getting more love than others and SE just wants to mostly wave it off.

Nah your red mage dps is fine you guys don't need a nerf I mean come on if i never encounter a red mage with a dps of 4k at the end of a fight for the past 2 week it spell pretty much that you guys don't need a nerf bit blm does able to hit 4.2k so I don't see a problem with these 2 job

Should a job do more DPS if it's harder to play? Some people mentioned it, curious to see more thoughts on it.

It more has to do with how our damage is gimped when we have to move a lot due to fight mechanics, so to make up for our lost damage, we need a potency increase to get close to that of Sam to make up for our lost mobility. RDMs are currently beating both SMN and BLM in terms of damage because of their mobility.

This doesn't surprise me, I quit playing both of my BLM in late 2.x because of this very reason. It's maddening.
