    A Blm can actually hit around 750 or so if they use enochian and accessed blizzard IV, moreso if they use cooldown. The deficit on BRD/MCH is a bit more apparent when they're losing out on their exclusive abilties, and especially BRD'S TP effiency and MCH's wildfire bursts (where ricochet and gauss round has a much higher value)

    How about a healer that heals in Cleric Stance?

    1) Tank. Because I'm less likely to notice it and they're at least still pushing buttons, as opposed to a healer sitting on their hands half the time.

    2) Brd/Mch. It's slightly more complicated due to the loss of WM reliant skills, but I'm pretty sure they're still doing better than an ice mage.

    3) Drg. If for no other reason than the fact that I main monk and would, therefore, be personally wounded by watching that far more deeply.

    4) Mch. Same reason as the tank, really. He may be doing it wrong, terribly so, in this case, but at least there's some effort going into it.

    1. The tank
    2. The BRD/MCH
    3. The MNK
    4. The MCH, they'll likely do better damage than a Straight Shot only BRD if RNG favors them.

    1. A tank that stays in tank stance /w full fending the entire run or a healer that never touches cleric stance.

    2. An Ice mage or a BRD/MCH that does not use WM/GB.


    3. MNKs that only do DK-TS-SP and stay on the rear, or a DRG that only does full thrust combos

    4. a BRD that only does straight shot, or a MCH that never uses reload.

    Feel free to add your own.
    1) Tank (Unless the tank is a full fending full time Shield Oath PLD who also never uses Goring Blade and Royal Authority)
    2) BRD/MCH
    3) MNK (The DRG's DPS will be considerably worse)
    4) MCH (I'm pretty sure the MCH would do better under those constraints)
