You dont want to balance around rdps specifically tho you need to take it into an account, for instance nin was behind dragoon by 1.5 ish and their TA didnt even make up the difference.

As for wanting the same rdps... you dont want that. Thatll make any dps utility redundant, as dps utilities are meant to be worked with (not apply and forget about it like pugs do) why have extra work for the same damage? You want pdps to change according to utility, but depending on that utility needs to scale according to its purpose.

Honesty SAM got shafted here, monk got top strong, and honestly smn and rdm need to be brought up
The site in question uses "rDPS" to mean [personal DPS contribution + indirect/party DPS contribution - indirect/party DPS contribution received from others], i.e. the damage you bring to the raid, not just the damage contribution you generate through the raid. We might as well use the terms used by the sole host of our relevant data if we're going to have meaningful discussion. (I too preferred pDPS, rDPS, and tDPS for total contribution, but whatever. Better clarity than precision in this case.)
