Thread: Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

You miss the point. This is not about BLM damage getting higher than summoner, it's about the whole caster class being garbage compared to others. BLM needed a much higher buff (SAM in accordance) and smn shouldn't have been nerfed, that's it (maybe in aoe but not single target). It seems we're designed to do less damage, explain me if it makes sense to you considering some other classes with higher utility do higher rdps than we do.

Besides, when you compare classes, you compare the raid dps, not the personnal dps as the latter doesn't take in account the damage you provide to the team through buffs.
