You get what I was referring to. BLM can sustain and do aoe dmg faster than a SMN. This is the reason they are preferred to do dungeon speed runs or any other type of speed runs.

No, BLM is only preferred for 8 minute WPSR. Only when there's consistently 5+ targets. A well-geared run with SMN/BRD will only take 10-11 minutes, and that's because with a SMN you can skip the same trash pack as BLM due to Tri-Disaster.

Everywhere else, SMN is, or should be, preferred. You don't generally see 5+ target pulls elsewhere, because you either use cannons, or do death-runs. If people are preferring BLM right now, it's just because of the WP hype. It's the same thing affecting WARs right now--With their negative hype. They can function just fine in, relatively, all content. The only 2 things they are absolutely barred from is 8-10 minute WPSR and Turn 5. If you ask the community, though, they're **** and should never be used.
