Thank you Panda and Akiudo for wording it better/ more eloquently than I was on the whole power budget argument.

You nailed what I was trying to say about how physical rdps are underbudget and why their position is in danger far better than I have.

In an ideal world melee dps and ranged dps would come out with the same overall contribution through the course of a fight, ranged do lower damage but are constantly damaging, melee have moments where they move out and stop dps so they are tuned higher.

Except as you both pointed out, uptime strats which are always in use negate this and the dps tax ranged has as a result is too high and needs redressing.

Thank you both of you for doing a much better job of presenting the argument than I was.
