Reaper needs additional buffs.

The cold hard data is right now, RPR is not. RPR is the lowest melee dps right now. (Yes, it's below NIN) after all the other melee jobs got buffed/reworked because the weren't in a great place (except MNK, MNK's been hot since 6.0). RPR is not the only major job balance issue right now.

Currently:
WAR/PLD/RDM/BRD/MCH all are underperforming to an extreme degree if you look at logs and you speak with top teams who cleared the tier. When players are being forced to swap JOBS to hit DPS checks you have a gigantic massive issue. While many would argue 'just nerf the overperforming ones' the issue is SE has balanced the current raid tier and the ultimate around the current balance they had with the bulk of other jobs DPS. To nerf the outliers would require a nerf also to some of the DPS requirements of the tier (which they are never going to do) mainly for 8S.
Now to specifically point out at RPR, RPR has been on the downward trend hard since the other melees (again besides MNK) got buffed/reworked particularily looking at around when DSR released. RPR is pretty darn terrible specifically in DSR, partly due to the nature of the fight being burst focused and RPR basically needing a portion of their burst to be reliant on a 'gauge' that they can't fill or do anything at all to build during downtime (WHICH THERE IS ALOT IN DSR).

I’d also argue SMN and BLM are undertuned. SMN and RDM are both almost the same and they are both in very bad shape, BLM is fine as a true caster but since it more fills the spot of fake melee it’s really undertuned for the fake melee spot

Basically everyone is a mess except GNB/DRK/NIN/SAM/MNK and DRG with the healers only balanced because even a 2 year old could balance the healers

Overall all casters need a buff, the bard, the machinist and reaper also, the paladin and the war should not be so far from the PST / DRK DPS as well.

They could also add a guaranteed autocrit on certain spell.
