Eh, fine, max is higher. So? Someone outplayed a warrior with perhaps few ilvl more in a specific group setting. 0.01% of playerbase is hardly something that proves a point or something that a game should be balanced around, especially when in 99.99% cases DRK is - as seen on the chart above - the last.

the difference with MAX is sometimes multiple hundreds of DPS higher, and in the "average" its also multiples of hundreds.
(100-700)

all tanks get their share of padding.
So the best padded WAR vs the best padded DRK, and so forth.
looking at average DPS is good, but sometimes players just mess up, or dont know of certain basics built into a job.
(Like the number of RDMs who think you were supposed to manafication at 40/40 mana, which is actually wrong, but most play that way, even floor 4 clearing RDMs)
If its just players not knowing how to play right, you dont adjust a job to do more DPS, when it can in theory, out dps everyone else already.
(once they learn the proper ways to do something, they will go beyond broken. of course, this is only if they just arent playing correctly originally.)
