I'm sure this has been debated before, but being that the teal gear is allowable for schs to wear (new), what upperhand does blm have on sch anymore? Why even be blm? Normally I'd say am2's and the weskit, but V's will outdue those as they're dmg will be near on par with them and most importantly more mp efficient then am2's (another thing sch does better than blm, conserve mp, vie sublimation and a -50% ja).
Sch cons I can see being argued:
Of course you have to use "dark arts" and another charge to get the spells, but this point is trivial when comparing solely to a blm (ie you wouldnt bring up the point that it has to change to dark arts unless you were comparing it to a whm and a blm at the same time). And once that charge is used up you have a +20% ja ready to go for pretty much every spell (sure the charges aren't instant but if your nuking to a point to where you run out, your probably over nuking and bound for death with the amount of emnity vie dmg). Add this to a sch thats smart enough to own the weather obi's and your 20% turns into a 30% dmg bonus over a blm's I-V's. And in practically all instances % beets MAB (i bring this up because sch alone doesnt get the mab job trait, so this makes up for it, and then some).
So to restate the question, what reason is there to be a blm over sch would you argue? A hope for newer am's or spells found at lvl 99?
