I am with you in that Black Mage needs a lot of damage buffs. Hell, this whole "selfish dps" experiment might be dead now, seeing as the only two DPS who haven't seen an ult clear as far as FFLogs is concerned are SAM and BLM. It might not be, however. Either way, I would say the big problem between BLM and SMN is not "Which job has a raise? Take that one."

It's "Of the casters, which job has amazing damage boost utility, outstanding mobility, and does the most damage of any job in the game?" It's not Red Mage, and it's not Black Mage.
