I could see it in mid-level DPS groups only. I'd be keen on seeing other high DPS group's DRG's numbers in each turns, with sub-6m T10, 11, sub-7m T12, and sub 11m T13 though - I did see a DRG do 600 T10 but I think that was with Doomspikes and the AoE strat.
alright you don't really lose that much dps with final phase earthshakers. If blms and bards are doing more dps, then it means that they are doing most of it during the add phase and therefore is taking it from your other dps. I did more than 500 on t13 this week without a ninja and lbing but that's with 7 people, so once again, more damage during adds.

I mean Dragoon is pretty close if not the same as monk/ninja and would be more dps with +8.5% for bards. If your dragoon is losing to blms and bards then he's doing something wrong. It should really only be possible in t13 due to aoeing adds.

I was top dps in my first clear before the buffs.
