Best DPS class in the game?

I can't speak to SMN dps but MNK is pretty comfortably ahead of DRG, so it's kind of a shame that DRG isn't getting buffed more than just jumps. I play both MNk and DRG so I have firsthand experience. The difference is pretty tangible, and more than 10% i'd say. I've put a lot of time into my DRG gear and it's just frustrating to know that i could have geared MNK instead and performed noticeably better in coil.

They take the increase DRG's Disembowel provides BRDs into account when balancing.

Apparently not, if they're finally buffing DRG damage by 10%.

They seem to be ~8% behind monks atm, though I think they have fewer TP issues.

I'm not so sure what they mean by 10% increase to DPS is what people are understanding. I'm pretty sure they're not just globally increasing DRGs damage output by 10%. They mean to say, with the Jump adjustments and some possible other tweaks that DRGs will be capable of 10% more DPS, roughly, in their optimal state.

Not sure what your source is about DRG being ~8% behind MNK in DPS, or what you mean by that exactly. As in DRG does 98% of MNK DPS or MNK does 108% of DRG DPS (the 2 aren't the same). Either way my initial feel is the difference is greater.

All of that being said, MNK is getting a damage buff as well apparently, so whatever the difference is between DRG and MNK it will likely be preserved more or less.
