To be fair, of those 3, only one, namely SAM, has absolutely no utility to offer to its party except for its high damage output. Even then, SAM is still barely squeaking ahead of anyone while having a lot more to manage in their rotation. RDM has a rDPS buff of around 6% in Embolden, and still competes with SAM as far as DPS goes, at a personal dps of around 4.4k vs 4.6k. For comparison, MNK/NIN are both in the same range of 4.4k, and then add in the fact RDM prevents wipes but just existing...

Yeah, if RDM doesn't get toned back no one will ever even glance at BLM or SMN, no matter how many buffs they get. That's just a straight blunt fact.
