My Analysis of BLM's issues and why it is currently the worst DPS class.

[Bernkastelx]

There is a reason people make these give me my dps back. When you pick up brd/nin/drg/rdm/mch you go "Okay I offer party buffs so I can accept I don't do the most dmg". Now lets step in blm shoes "Oh I don't offer anything and those guys are doing close/same to my dmg I guess that is ok???". Then you start to play with the new smn everybody loves, "Huh they fixed a lot of the problems, don't really run out of mana spamming ruin 3/2 ruin 4 procs instant, derpmut still there but its cool doing close to sam dmg and I got a pocket raise just in case." Just my opinions of course anything that advertises selfish dps like this game does is doing it wrong. Overall its about gameplay how well the class feels and comparing it to others and unfortunately even when you do manage the best uptime with blm its still not good enough to warrant playing it.

Also prog/clear on blm heavens no that is sadistic but for farm sure.
