If those numbers came from FFLogs, I find that a lot of their top parses unfortunately come from people loading up the party in ways that purposely boost a single person's damage so they can "top the charts," which can make them kind of an unreliable source. Not to mention, PLD and DRK dps are both affected by whether or not there's a WAR in the party. PLD/DRK compositions require you to have a NIN for optimal tank DPS, so I was including that in my late-night thoughts. Was I indulging in a bit of hyperbole? Yes, yes I was. That doesn't change the fact that the gap exists and it's still pretty wide, though.

Dunno. Comparing the top players also doesn't seem like a reasonable way to compare when most players are... well, average.
