Summoner is doing too much in 5.10

[Akiudo]

I read this whole thread, and I do have an honest question as a newer player. None of this really matters if you're not parsing 99% and/or doing brand new progression, correct? A class doing 1k more dps than another is only a matter for people executing rotation perfectly, a.k.a. the professionals? Not meant to be a jab.

not really, chances are if a class does 1000 dps more at 99 it will also do 1000 (or at least 800) more at 75%, or 50% , and in that regard its not only cutting edge progression, like yes, that where its most important, but exactly because not everyone can be the 99% allways top gameplay world first type of player it will allways be relevant.

imagine your group is doing a fight that needs 75000 raid dps, your group is doing 74.500-75.500 in an average try if no one dies (doesnt matter if this means your group sucks ass by current standarts or whatever, thats completly irrelevant to the discussion) , basically you get through if no one messes up and you got a good run as a group.

now imagine you change your class and suddenly you got a 1000 dps buffer, imagine a second player does the same and goes from one of the weaker to the stronger classes and suddenly you got a buffer of 1,5-2k. that may not sound like much, but in practice this is huge
