4.11+ DRK Suggestions/Balance Changes from a "Hardcore" Player

So yes, DRK is less optimal but it just doesn't matter for most of you. 200 dps extra isn't going to break your bones.

I advocate play what you want as much as anyone else, but it also sucks knowing you can be bringing more and doing better if you were a different job competing for your spot. I say this as a Black mage currently transitioning into Machinist. I definitely need more work on Machinist but I'm already at the point, with just a few hours of practice, where I'd be comfortable with the personal damage I lose by switching, and that margin will only get smaller as the gear catches up and I hammer out the rotation more.

You shouldn't feel -bad- for playing what you want, and that's why these balance discussions will persist despite the speed run population being much lower than even the Savage clear population.

TBH I just don't get the point of "maining a job", you have so many jobs you can play in your role, yet you are so fixated at one. I, for one, switch to WAR for speedrun but it's not like I don't enjoy playing WAR. So you see, it's part of the game. More often that people complain but they can't even get better results in the said 'OP' job.
