Our part in this is to let them know we believe there is too big a gap between the damage dealing jobs.
To be fair that's basically what were doing right now. We are using numbers from a parse. Just not an official one.

SAM isn't an issue of who deals more damage, we can comfortably say that SAM deals the most, but people seem to have an issue with one DPS being designed to be stronger than the others. If SAM wasn't top of the charts they would be completely useless, it's not hard to understand.
