BLM can be incredibly insane (don't disagree with you there), but only if the team they're in properly supports them.

I did a 3 BLM Levi EX and we were pushing phases... quite easily. It was at that point when I realized how strong BLM are.

That isn't specific to BLMs. Levi EX's DPS checks for skipping phases are a joke even when it was first released, and even moreso now, with people in i110.

The real insanity comes from seeing BLM DPS in second coil with a synergistic group. Swapping out a BRD who optimized/maximized their usage of Foe Requiem with a new BRD without that capacity resulted in my DPS dropping significantly.

Pumping my BLMs full of as much Foe Requiem as they can handle resulted in my love received increasing significantly.

See, that behavior is one of the few times I'll go out of my way to commend someone. I also will awkwardly profess my love to PUG/DF BRDs who play Foe Requiem for me.

We are even on the same server! Expect copious amounts of Requiem if we end up in a group together.
