Rest in peace War dps

[RapBreon]

My understanding is that the gap between tanks and DPS will only increase as more gear is accumulated. Primarily this being due to each stat being worth less - damage wise - for tanks than it was before the adjustment.

If tanks are doing around 3.0 DPS in ilvl 240ish gear (as someone claimed? I'm not sure, but I think they did; I somewhat doubt), the gap between DPS and tanks has widened without a doubt. For comparison, my MNK gained 200dps from 10ilvls alone (from 208 to 217). I imagine a dummy parse for a MNK in pure BiS would be almost 1.8-1.9k. A WAR would be around 1.3k with BiS? I'm not sure though. However, the gap was definitely not that big during 3.0, in absolute nor relative terms.

This is correct.
It'll be similar to that one MMO about Orcs and Humans fighting that's been out for a decade. Warriors in that game scaled much better with gear than most classes; so in the early parts of an expansion their DPS would be lackluster, but as time went on in the expansion cycle it got astronomically higher.

Gear scaling is fun 'w'

I like it when I understand things gud!
