Its really not that much of an exaggeration. If you hit your gcd in the right order (just like mnk and nin) and hit every instant when timer is up between gcd (just like mnk and nin) you are doing the optimal rotation. If a mnk does that and whiffs all positionals, or a nin whiffs all their ninjutsu (dev determined equivalent) a drg does 98% of their max damage without any additional concern. Hitting buttons in the right order is litterally 98% of drgs performance. Mnk and nin cannot make such a bold claim. They have to do that and do other things or they have much more dramatic cuts to their output. That's not exaggeration.

Like I said, I'm perfectly happy with the net gain in damage, but the utter insignificance of any gameplay mechanics of the job are pretty sad to me.
