That wasn't the original post's issue. The issue is that WAR is being excluded from parse runs because SCH, DRG or BRD complain about "muh rDPS". Funny enough, I thought that as a non-issue until my FC mate joined a speedrun party for mommy EX. Party leader was a SCH, and I noticed they excluded WAR, my friend found out they didn't want to have WAR because it screws their Chain Stratagem dps... again, in a speedrun party.

It's like those weekly savage parties that excluded PLD or DNC before 6.05. There are actually people out there that have the mindset, it's impossible to clear with PLD or DNC's dps... it's infuriating (no pun intended). Ofc it's best to just ignore those ignorant fools, however in WAR case I can somewhat understand it (not the speedrun party thing, that's just ridiculous). There more than 1 action in the game that increase crit rate, actually quite a bunch if we include lost actions from bozja, and to lesser extend even dh rate increasing ones. And while WAR doesn't have access to as many as the DPS role, there are still enough to notice that WAR has a lesser gain from them (or those who casted the buff on the WAR) than any other job.
Even in normal PvE, I don't recall any job having more than 1 guaranteed crit and/or dh action, if any at all. Right now, DNC has 1 (Starfall Dance) every 120s, DRG (Life Surge) every ~45s, MCH (Reassemble) every ~55s, and MNK has Bootshine.
WAR has Berserk/Inner Release for 3 GCDs, Infuriate, and now Primal Rend, that's at least 5 GCDs/min, more than 20% of your GCDs done per minute! That's way over the top!
