You really think anyone is going to look at any number other than the one that DRG itself is pushing out? Good luck with that one. This is why no one wanted PUP back in XI - because the damage of the player was so low and that's all anyone looked at, not the player + the actual weapon which was the puppet and it was a very useful and strong class. If SE doesn't understand that buffing OTHER classes is only useful and looked at in an actual support class rather than a Damage Dealing class, then we're going to see more and more of this as classes get less and less balanced.

I still don't buy into this idea that monk should have the highest overall DPS. It can ebb and flow over time as jobs are balanced against one another, but there is absolutely no reason that Monk should have such a leg up on other classes, especially other melee classes.
