SE, please make sure RDM & SAM are on par with other DPS.

Lol. MCH is the highest dps in raids.

Eh, hard to tell that, to be honestly. According to logs, BRD is still higher, but there are more people playing MCH.

That #1 BRD is getting 14 Balances in his highest parse on Alex Prime. That BRD is being catered to. Though most high-end parses are nothing but one DPS or Tank being catered to.

I never said they were good examples, 'cause FFlogs is riddled with catered to parses. My main point there being there's only 10 bards in a sample size of 100 versus machinist's 19, on top of being cherry picked posts, though I should have emphasized it more. It's like saying NIN does more DPS than a MNK because you see them more in raids.

Either or, I will emphasize it now on the subject of BRD and MCH- there's not a large enough sample size and any sources we have access to will be largely inaccurate for varying reasons.

Translation, because I fail at communicating points sometimes:
Hey, look at the top 100 DPS.
Oh hey, there's two bards at the top, out of 10 total bards in the top 100.
Oh, look, there's 19 total machinists in the top 100.
Hrng, but it's top 100, so it means cherry picking.
This isn't a good basis to determine which classes do more damage.

To be fair, you should dump Balances onto whoever is doing the most damage. 10% of a bigger number is bigger, after all. :P So, he was likely top DPS without the boost, which is why he got that many.

:> I'm glad someone else mentioned what generally happens.

The DRG was doing 2.1k, while he was doing 2.9k, over 14 Balances. If anything, the DRG was doing highest natural DPS, BRD's was only higher purely by Balance.

there are groups that do encounters with strange party setups just to rig the numbers for one player on those charts.
