5.08 Patch - DPS still not balanced.

[whiskeybravo]

... Are you being willfully obtuse now or did you just not bother to actually read my post? The lower tier is irrelevant because the data provided isn't an accurate representation of the jobs' performance. You don't balance around a 20% or 50% Black Mage because that percentile range means they have made several mistakes either rotationally or mechanically. You balance at the top to remove such variables as it paints a more accurate picture. I really don't know how to dumb this down further for you.

I didn't say anything about 20% or 50% percentiles. I asked if whether that was before or after you inflated the disparity by 20-50%

Tell you what. If you can explain to us what justification there is for Black Mage to pull nearly two thousand more rDPS than Red Mage or Dragoon to be a thousand above Bard, I'll admit this is all hogwash and we're overreacting.

"Nearly 2000" is an inflation of 20%. And 50% above the 1000 dps difference you see in lower percentiles.

Make sense now?

And why are they taking them? Because evidence shows they are far superior to their counterparts. Optimized groups didn't pick those jobs out of a hat and decide to only play them. They test which jobs perform the best and adjust accordingly. You're essentially saying the current big three are only strong because speed killers run with them. That's putting the cart before the horse since it ignores why they chose those jobs.

That's not what I said at all, actually. I asked if you are really going to claim that them being predominantly found in optimization kills has no bearing whatsoever on the statistics.

And I'm the strawman lol

Fact: BLM is op.
