    The RDPS app is skewed for class-to-class comparisons, in the BRD vs MCH comparisons especially. MCH abuses raid buffs more than any other class, which makes the providers of the buffs appear higher on the final rdps number while the benefiting classes like MCH lose out. It's an issue of how the balance between the abuser and the provider is not equally distributed. The app also skews Foe Requiem higher than it should probably be, especially in double Ranged comps where MCH provides a lot of the MP needed for it. Mana Shift in caster comps is also part of it, all that MP utility is drained by BRD under the Foe numbers. Then there's the differences in mitigation that change healer dps numbers, gains again attributed to healers and not the defensive utility provider.

    If MCH was truly 500 dps behind the other classes in overall efficiency, there's no way the class would appear anywhere near the top rankings. The RDPS app just can't be used for class comparisons in a simple manner like that without a lot of contextual information and statistics, neither which the app provides.
