for casters:
BLM are supposed to be the high dps job (that bring no party buffs, they just bring more damage)
SMN has a raise, and party utility in the forms of devotion and such, so in a perfect balanced world it shouldnt bring as much dps as the BLM but still be up there.
RDM is a two faced coin, it brings a bad heal and a raise, and it's dps by double cast, heal + raise + doublecast making able to pull raises out more (without factoring in MP) makes it slightly lower than SMN in damage.
