Maybe just buff both BLM and RDM (And Smn), I do think BLM should do the most? (in general phys ranged aswell?) Raising is very valuable and expecting there not to be a significant difference between BLM and other casters makes no sense, No one would pick a BLM if it was a tiny bit in front of the other two casters, BLM is always going to be giving up raise potential
Really the gap between BLM and samurai shouldn't be so much this should give room to make SMN/RDM more viable by also buffing their output and buffing ranged.

People complain about jobs becoming similar with each expansion, but having the options and different reasons why you want to pick a caster is way more interesting then any reason why you'd pick a melee dps over a other, the thing is Red mage can perform well the fight was overtuned, Do I want RDM to perform well? Yes Do I think we need to make it so that every job plays pratically the same and does the same damage? no, BLM has it's advantages and rdm does.

It's clear why the fight damage in p8s was brought down, while yes job balance for machinist, reaper and even red mage should be looked at, at the same time we should be wanting more utility we should be wanting more options on what a job brings, instead of every DPS just either bringing Damage buffs or raw damage, we should be wanting actual meaningful differences in jobs, I'm not saying RDM or SMN should be this low, but it's not a problem with blm doing a lot more damage, in general it's a problem with the idea of range tax, I mainly have a problem with this because I don't want Casters to become melee dps where their only actual good utility is "lol raid buff in your 120 window"
