Pictomancer is insanely overtuned and needs to be fixed before savage drops.

I play Viper, a melee job that has no party buff, no unique party mit, no personal mit, and is meant to do as much damage as possible while dodging hearts like a madman to stay in melee range to make it all worth it.
In the upcoming raid, my dancer is going to partner the pictomancer over me, a caster that has a raid buff, a raidwide shield, can sit comfortably at a distance, and does more damage than me.

I'm just throwing my hat in here, I really hope they help out the game balance because I think a lot of people, especially black mage players, will not get invited to raids

Yes, well, sitting comfortably.

Are we talking about Endwalker that the melee had 100% guaranteed uptime, while the blm had to lower its head with strategies absolutely not designed for a caster and do less damage than any melee?

The PCT has to sweat the uptime like a real caster. The blm has to sweat the uptime like a real caster. If the smn is not called in the raids it is only justice. The blm absolutely needs to be buffed, because mathematically broken in the negative, but I don't see why real casters should do less than melee.
