MRD - a DPS?

[Gamemako]

EDIT: I'm talking about MRDs doing twice as much DMG as relic+1 DRGS on titan, decked out in Allagan gear, using a Titan's axe.

That won't happen, but MRD does respectable DPS against comparably-equipped dedicated DPS job. DRG has 42 more base strength than MRD, which alone is 8-10% more DPS. It then has more potency on everything, plus more off-GCD attacks. To put the off-GCD in context, MRD has 1.67 potency per second in off-GCD abilities while DRG has 15.89. In total, DRG is going to roll 25% more DPS pretty easily before abilities are taken into account. WAR just gets better burst ability, with Raging Strikes + Berserk + Blood for Blood putting up about 101.6% damage boost over 20s and 68% boost over another 20s period per 180s.Time-weighted, these bursts are about 19% DPS boost. DRG's use of Blood for Blood only will put up around a 7.5% damage boost. Now, you could just look at the strength difference here and realize that it alone accounts for the greater burst ability of MRD -- 1.075*1.1=1.1825. The greater potency is where DRG will extend a lead with identical equipment, but it's not a large one. The thing that kills MRD as a DPS is the lack of appropriate equipment.
