I did not respond to your anecdote because it's irrelevant, but if you insist... DRG also received buffs to their basic combo to account for the loss of the piercing debuff. Your dps comment does not compute, it's mathematically impossible for lower dps to clear but higher dps not to. Obviously you measured this outside, but it has zero relevance inside this specific duty because the DRG has to move into melee range. The biggest dps loss in this duty is moving to the next target, so what the DRG needs to do is: save their two Dive abilities and use them to jump to the next sword instead of wasting precious time walking.

So I find myself repeating the same thing again: this duty was completed successfully and regularly with weaker abilities during Stormblood.
If you think the duty needs to be made easier, I have no problem with that. But do not say that job changes are the issue, because they are simply not.

I said it is not an unreasonable expectation when the job is played suboptimally, not that it's required. I'm merely offering a suggestion that might help.
