If DRG does in fact get a buff...

[Verus]

Any form of proof for consistently pushing 500 DPS in said gear (no melded 110 gear, no iLvl 120+ gear)? Like a video where you open the character screen midfight during the parse? Otherwise I'm pushing 600 DPS with Zenit Gae Bolg in Darklight gear in a fight like T9. Posting bold statements is one thing, but you need to back it up, especially if your claims are far off from what other top DRGs can achieve (not claiming to belong to these circles myself, but from reading these forums, looking on youtube, reddit and searching the internet I couldn't find any single DRG to even be close to those numbers in regular iLvl 110 gear). So you either are the UBER-DRG or your numbers aren't quite correct.

The big problem with most of the drg hate comes bad players and not knowing how to properly make an effective gear set. Most drg probably don't have much 2nd coil gear although that may change now with echo. A full Soldiery drg has way too much skill speed to be viable in a large number of fights. I've only found T6 savage so far to be effective for drg to have SS build. Crit is our main stat for i110.

As far as what everyone has been saying, yes, I should provide evidence. So tell me what would be the most effective fight to demonstrate dps. T8 with turning echo off? A video of a dummy parse? I'll work on making a video of something appropriate sometime tonite. However, I have not seen any proof of a mnk hitting 550+ in fights and it most likely isn't possible with i110 unless they have another mnk DK all the time.

Average parse of t10 I believe this was a 1% wipe or something but this was average among our attempts. Did clear by the end of the night. DPS could be higher for me but with charge rng it can fluctuate.

Based on your comment, that makes NIN and MNK the tank right? Since NIN and MNK do more damage than DRG already, so they must be the tanks, right?

NIN and MNK do not have an initial burst like a DRG. We all know this. With a buff in attack potency it will make it easy for DRG to pull only at the beginning and potentially on add phases when they spawn.

That really depends on what the buff is. If they buffed Dragoon's Maguc Defense no. If you lowered CD on say Jump and added some sort of better raid utility, not seeing it there either. The only situation they might is if they directly buff attack potency. However seeing as how SE would likely buff Full Thrust, Vorpol Thrust, and True Thrust if they did, and that is not the opening combo, I'm still not seeing it.

Magic defense is our crutch as drg and a buff in that department would be most welcome.
