[Machinist] What is going on?

[Risvertasashi]

Adps is a pointless metric, a jobs dps buffs are a part of their damage contribution. Raid buffs might be skewed depending on the number of players in the partyn but there are always at least three other party members in any valid content, and frankly all significant content (even if it's not savage) is still 8 man content.

It would be one thing if a 'selfish' dps job could compete with the rdps of others in a 4 man but not an 8 man, but even that's not the case for MCH.

Hard disagree. rdps is important, but so is adps - especially when making the argument for "selfish" DPS types. rdps is exactly where selfish DPS should fall behind - if selfish DPS have the best adps and rdps, what's even the point of raid buffs? (And, yes, I do think melee that fall into the category of "best of both" are overtuned).

Isn't the point of rdps to account for the discrepancy between jobs with different adps? It doesn't matter if a job is selfish or not, if it has less rdps than another, then it's bringing less dps overall regardless of its adps.
