i'm just pointing out that jumping to the conclusion that blm will be greater dps without us testing it compared to thm is the same as the op jumping to the other conclusion. we will know nothing for sure until we get those jobs with the patch and test them for ourselves.
It sure as hell ain't gonna be lower. Your scenario has too many variables - your hate management, your tank's efficiency, etc.

However, yes I agree. In the end, we'll know what we get when we get it.
