Is there an unneeded hostility towards regular classes in this game?

It actually was Pure DPS. I had someone else measure it through the battle log through his Parse software. I don't remember the exact numbers for for my pet and me, but it was 218 at the time for ACN, and 217 for SMN. Accounting for Fester, all DoTs, Spur and Rouse, Shadow Flare on each, and otherwise, including Raging Strikes, before that, I'd then wait till most of my Cooldowns and the like were ready, then go full tilt for a few minutes using everything I had at my disposal on a level 50 dummy in Coerthas. The only thing that could maybe matter was Enkindle, that did not get used when I did the measurements for this when on Summoner,so feel free to say that invalidates the entire position, don't rightly care about it anymore. Arcanist also had mostly Darklight gear with one or two pieces of Crimson at the time, while SMN had the Doublet and what else was on ACN.

I don't do Coil with ACN, too many people would complain about it.

The Greater Key of Titan is better than the Veil of Wiyu, and I'm not about to waste so much time on a bragging rights weapon like Relics are.

No heals, I'm focusing more on survivability and move variation. The Pet potency is a minimal loss, unless you want to factor in Spur, Enkindle does nothing basically for such a long cooldown, and that's all I have to say about that really.
