Answer me this: Why is a class with better support than half the classes below them competing with a selfish caster for the top DPS spot, and why does anyone think that is okay?
Well an overtuned job would surely dominate in every single fight at all percentiles? But it doesn't and the only fights it excels in are the fights it can ignore positionals and which actually benefit the MNK by design.

Um.. because FFLOGs is combining the raid contribution that MNK adds, on to its own DPS? which is rightfully so? If you discount BH, which is about 450-500, that puts BLM like 300-400 ahead in personal DPS. So...yeah, MNK isn't ahead of BLM until you factor in the support and then it overtakes it. As I already said, FFLOGS ranks DPS in terms of raid DPS. A MNK doing 12,500 is actually doing 12,050~. This new ranking system has everyone throwing a hissy fit because everyone can finally see accurately the actual DPS a support brings. There was never this much uproar in HW where a DRG was about 300dps in front of a MNK and BLM when doing the double ranged comp. and 300 back then was a huge amount (10% of what a MNK was capable of).

So, yeah, that's why it's okay for a support job to bring more total raid dps than a selfish job? That's the way the game has been since HW. It's only ShB that doesn't know where it wants to place support, some are top, some are bottom.
