    BLM seems like the only decent option but compared to the other DPS it's quite low as well with all the melees being propped up this xpac.
    Infinite paradox is a fun optimisation of BLM’s lines that show the class still has interesting optimisation, but it’s also too weak to compete with a melee in general considering the melee don’t have to fight at all for uptime

    It’s like “learn an entirely different rotation to do 5% less damage than a SAM doing the same rotation they always do or just play SAM”

    Balance is just not good. If casters have to fight for uptime then they should be buffed and they won't buff BLM because RDM and SMN hit like a wet noodle from a pot of overcooked noodles that have long since lost their taste. So they have to buff all of them.

    The only caster that hasn't been gutted in damage ironically is BLU.
