The problem with dps and balance

[Leonus]

No, your wrong. Met a dragoon in Quarn HM before maintanence. He outdps'd me something fierce on my Nin. ilvl 110 here, so was he, I followed my rotations to the T, so did he. I always had my dots up on boss, he never let his debuffs on boss. kept huton up AND would use refresh skill on mudra's for raiton (auto crit) and still outdps'd me. Their main prob is MAGIC DEF

You really shouldn't use dungeon runs as a reference.

I'll be honest too, I really hate dummy parse numbers used a reference. I feel like anyone with the right gear and rotation should be able to pull those numbers on a dummy seeing as there is no real interaction. You just go through your rotation. Where real skill comes in is during raid boss fights. This is where real awareness and skill comes into play. There are people who can parse high on dummies all day and then flop hard when it comes to applying it in actual situations. Raid boss parses are where the meat and potatoes are.

On those fights, barring some circumstances, the drg as of right now should not out dps a good nin/mnk. This does not mean the drg can't put up respectable numbers, just not as high as the other two mdps.

Hopefully the fix for drg will bring them in line with the other two.
