What? lol

BRDs and MCHs refused to party without a DRG a lot of the time because of shown pDPS, not rDPS. It wasn't "I like you cuz you increase my numbers," it was "I don't want to party with you because you don't." MNKs abandoned for NIN, SAMs abandoned for anything, BLMs abandoned for SMN, when pDPS was all that was shown people only cared about the jobs that could boost their pDPS. With rDPS and aDPS, we get a much clearer picture of where jobs stand in a hierarchy, and the team comps that are prioritized for highest rDPS...give the highest raid-wide DPS now.

There are drawbacks with anything, but in my opinion rDPS paints a much better picture of job (not necessarily player) performance.
