Samurai and Red Mage

[Dualgunner]

But you have to remember bard have that "same" damage only because they have dragoon. If bard can do same dps than rdm that mean rdm is doing 300 dps more than bard. Bard/mch is balanced without disembowel. If you check raid dps calculator even rdm can reach 6.7k + raid dps contribution. If their damage would get boosted 200 - 300 they could be close to meta.

I can hit purple MCH without Dragoon, therefore I can surmise that your statement isn't necessarily true. I'll cede most high parsing BRD/MCH have that added damage boost, however it's not a good comparison to just compare 75th percentile to 75th percentile, because 75th percentile can be easily reached without that damage boost for instance.

Also can you link the specific logs where RDM hits 6.7k+ with rDPS? I'm looking at Jump Man's best Demon Chad his rDPS drops to 6.3k. https://xivrdps.herokuapp.com/encoun...qT3wMxhkr8BY/7 and likewise with his God Kefka clear https://xivrdps.herokuapp.com/encoun...qT3wMxhkr8BY/7, and he's one of the best RDM there are, so I don't know where else to look.
