That's because the person is an idiot, though honestly your not gonna do decent damage til your about lvl58 or 60. This is a class where you need access to your entire kit for the real damage, and then it needs to be kept in mind most people don't have their parses set up correctly to properly read mch damage, namely the damage of Wildfire.... And if your wondering why I'm bring Wildfire up so much, it's because it's one of these most important skills you have for damage. Mch doesn't function like other dps as we don't have a high sustained damage, instead we function off heavy bursts. Last time I checked, which was before I got my ravana weapon, my opener was a 1900 DPS burst.
