5.08 Patch - DPS still not balanced.

[AikenDrum]

Yes, i know that Balance and ability to clear are mostly unrelated, i.e. all jobs could be able to clear and be balanced, all jobs could be able to clear and be unbalanced, neither jobs could be able to clear and be balanced/unbalanced (though i guess content difficulty would be unbalanced in this case), and there could be a case where only some jobs would be able to clear and not other, but with current dps requirements for SE to screw up that badly there'd need to be a dps job doing literally 0 dps, thought i think it could still be able to clear?

It's already screwed up.
If you have a ranged in your composition, the 1% bonus to all stats is applied to the group.
But this 1% is not even enough to justify the poor rDPS from the ranged, it's actually better to build a MNK/DRG/BLM/BLM group, the BLM replacing the ranged could miss many casts it would still bring a better rDPS.

Remember that Ultimate is coming, SE can either set a tight DPS check or not in both cases:

Relaxed DPS Check:
-Comp without 1+ DPS Pantheon will be able to clear
-Comp with DPS Pantheon will have a easy time


Tight DPS Check:
-Comp without 1+ DPS Pantheon might not be able to clear
-Comp with 2+ DPS Pantheon will have a hard time

If our comp replaced RDM with BLM and DNC with DRG we would have 4k additionnal DPS, for example.

Yep, current state is every job can clear and they're very unbalanced, i'm not the one saying it's fine ^_^
