What? More DPS = push phases, skip mechanics, kill things faster. All of creator savage is proof of this. Skipping most of A9S, tank busters and many mechanics in A10S, limit cuts/optical sights/lapis in A11S and the "earthshaker" voids in A12S. More DPS is the opposite of useless. It makes fights easier.

There is a difference between "viable" and "optimal" and MNK isn't close to DRG/NIN right now.
