My RDM is 64 right now and it too has some pretty powerful attacks. I have BRD and MNK at 60 and wasn't impressed with either, but that's about it for my experience with dps.

Am I just playing these wrong or is there something else I'm missing?
Dps is damage per second. Just because some of your attacks seem to be large as you use them, doesn't mean that your overall understanding of the class is that great. You need to sustain good numbers to have high dps.

Once had a sam in byakko ex who did a 50k midare and I almost died, my highest verholy being 39k ever. They still managed to be 3rd place in dps, behind myself on rdm and the bard. -rawrz
