It's about 400 rDPS behind on Phoinix which can be explained by adds downtime being more favorable for DRK. Your "10yrs of experience with 12k hrs" mean nothing when you don't actually play the job correctly.
    Psst. You notice the dude said dummy specifically? Under optimal conditions the gap is a bit wider than what you'll get from an active raid environment. Dummy doesn't mean much, I grant, but it does illustrate an unacceptable gap between the two for the amount of work required to get those numbers.

    "The dude" has 90% GCD uptime and fundamentally doesn't understand landing 11 GCDs in FoF. Not even talking about what those GCDs they do land are.

    So no, the gap they are seeing is irrelevant considering how far that PLD gameplay is from the optimal.
