    Can we get some clarification on the app? I've seen some people on reddit swearing the premium subscription gets you a free retainer, while some other websites are saying its just the "privilege" (lol) to hire another one.

    C/D?

    The slide states that with the premium plan you can hire an additional retainer, it simply raises your maximum retainer cap by one but you still have to pay for it.

    That could mean anything from an upward nudge to potency to a reduction in TP/kenki costs. All the personal DPS buffs in the world won't matter while "utility meta" exists. People who know what they're doing will still beat stuff no matter what though.

    It'll probably be a flat upward nudge in potency. Samurai just have issues with hate generation and overall damage output.

    is blm really strong enough in its present state though...?

    serious question, IDK. I don't parse or savage, although I do feel like BLM puts out a ton of damage when I'm on it.

    DON'T TAKE THIS AS SCRIPTURE. Methodology is janky as fuck and I'm honestly posting this to make a point.

    BLM puts out a lot of damage but raid contributions help a shit ton.

    The only reason why NIN is more valuble than a MNK in the meta is their TA window aligns with other abilities and on top of that their hate management skills make tank life easier.

    If you wanna play with raid dps contributions here you go https://xivrdps.herokuapp.com/

    Yep, BLM is "perfect", RDM, which needs some love, is ironically stated to be "perfect."

    RDM is "perfect" for progression, yeah. It absolutely has a niche, even if that niche isn't topping the charts 3 months in when everyone is kitted out in God gear.
