BLM needs more damage

[OgruMogru]

Our ability to claw our way through any content is a redundant point at this juncture and is extremely unhelpful. A lower percentile Smn should not out DPS a higher percentile Blm and yet here we are. Whms and Smns cried endlessly and loudly about the issues with their jobs and they got fixed. Why now is it always Whms and Smns that stomp in and demand everyone else stop complaining?

[Lelila38]

We Blm have been quiet and dealt with it long enough. It's high time we got vocal about our issues too and maybe get some attention to the current class imbalance.

You are a White Mage @ kidalutz and you are totally missing the point of this thread.
It is not about clearing content but the issues with blm as a job, and i don't know maybe how no groups hardly ever want blm anymore.
And yes smn do get their cake far more often then us, lol
A job that has lots of support + does more damage then a job that is suppose to just bring damage is very flawed..

Nobody is really stopping you from complaining.

They could never! Forreal though you don't see how blanket statements like "all content is clearable by any class" only serves to be extremely frustrating and dissuasive? It's a just not...constructive in any way and sadly, the majority of people I see that just roll into threads of great ideas and lamentations just to drop this awesome little distillation of ultimate foresight and perspective happen to be smn and whm. I'm sure it's not literally the case and I suppose I'm gonna have to point out now that most of what I've said has been hyperbole. Shouldn't have to, but here we are.

Yeah. While it is true that you can clear content with any job, it doesn't mean the jobs have no problems.

I mainly play both WHM and SMN and I support jobs that are behind like BLM getting changes to make it desirable and better.

Meh wouldn't say damage is the big BLM problem so much as trying to be a turret in a game with a lot of movement mechanics. That's probably what needs sorting first. Not getting shafted by ley lines seeking AoEs would boost damage a lot in and of itself

[zuzu-bq]

Turret game is not the issue. The issue is that when you do the turret game, your damage is too low.

Cmon u know why that’s the case... smn are always fucked up after every major patch - can u say the same bout Blms? If u are honest Blms never have had this problem they currently have. It’s kinda funny how most of them react right now if they can’t just say, like they always do, “Deal with it“. - Never the less Blm will be top caster again soon even without all these threads... after all it’s Yoshi, isn’t it? Just lean back and wait...

You know damn well blm has been less valuable than smn since heavensward came out. Pretty much all casters have been under the boot since 3.3, but even under that boot, smn was ahead of blm. Even in the start of stormblood when your damage was behind, it was only by a small ammount and you still had raise.
