DRG is unbalanced and desperately needs a buff.

You're talking about random pugs doing spammy dungeons?

Try Coil, or even a primal with a group of people all equally geared.

MNK and BLM are the clear leaders. Hell - get your closest MNK or BLM buddy to run over to a striking dummy with you, strip naked aside from your weapon and see who does more damage over 5 mins.

BRD is hit or miss, some of their damage (like BLM) does rely on chance. However fight depending - BRD can easily top a DRG if they don't have to worry about songs. The biggest issue here is that BRD has both the damage & the utility.. Where DRG can do nothing but DPS. The margin should be much clearer in DRG's favour, simply because of BRD's ability to support the party - and deal their damage at a safe range. Really all melee DPS should do more damage then ranged for this reason alone, but adding the amount of utility both BRD and BLM have, it really just isn't balanced at all.

im talking coil with equally geared players only time i lost in dps was in turn 4 due to the aoe but besides that im always top even on titan with ppl equally geared
