I'm simply quantifying what we already know, which is why everyone is levelling archer right now.
The subjective perception that archers are overpowered turns out to be correct, objectively.

There is no objective point in a DD meleer, except to gather abilities for archer. That conclusion rang true for FFXI, and I have already chronicled what the inevitable response was to that fact. That conclusion now rings true for FFXIV. The same thing that happened there will happen here.

Archer needs placed below the damage capability of all of the close-quarter meleers. I'm sorry. It's for your own good.
And have you already forgotten the video Doctor Mog made especially for you showing you that you can achieve the same damage output on PUG?
