Alligning with buffs isnt really part of the job itself btw
Its efficient but look at these in a vacuum cus noone aligns outside savage

Only alligning smn does in its own context is aetherflow and bahamut

Also "if you find others less cumbersome youre doing them wrong" lol clearly you forget red mage
I really think you're underestimating how valuable lining up party buffs on a burst based job is. I mean, yeah this pretty much is only for savage and ultimate, but what really matters outside of that? 4 man dungeons are so tuned down you could probably roll your face across the keyboard and auto attack to victory on any job. There exists black mages that made it to level cap and do their weekly currency caps.... only casting fire 3... then transposing instead of b3'ing. and handfuls of every melee job that for some reason beyond my comprehension DON'T FINISH THEIR COMBOS.... ever.... everything outside of savage is tuned enough for even chimps to be able to finish.

As far as rdm, i'm not as familiar with that job, but i believe that job is far more proc based/flow chart based. BLM rotation is pretty much set in stone. Learn it once, you know it forever, for every fight. Maybe a few minor changes here or there, but the primary principal remains the same. The only major things you need to learn on blm is how to slide cast, the best times to weave ogcd's so you don't clip as much, and also abusing aether manipulation/between the lines for easier movement over long range. It has plenty of mobility for the fights available.
