Hello all! New FF14er but long time MMO player. I've decided to main BLM and I've been grinding out the levels hoping to reach 70 and start raiding before too terribly long. However, I've been reading quite a few posts in which people tend to be pretty negative about the viability of a BLM for raid progression. What are your thoughts on this? Do you bring along BLMs in your groups?

I know I could always end up leveling another class if I find it difficult to play the BLM--just wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks!
