Un-enfeebled and equally geared, I'm not sure the damage difference is quite triple. TBH, I'm not sure--pure DPS--what job is on top. Haven't played with mnk/war/sam/good thf/drg/dnc on anything serious in ages.

At the same time, the good jobs don't take damage from AoE, don't get shut down from enfeebles, don't pull hate off the tank... they're not in the same league anymore, they're not even in the same sport. That's how bad it's gotten.
Translation:

Good Jobs: Mages
Bad Jobs: Melee, even blu. Amnesia does the same thing to a BLU it does to every melee, as do ailments that restrict gear and item usage.

I'm not disagreeing. That pretty much sums it up.
