Let's redefine "damage taxes"

No, it does not. The classifications for DPS are Melee, Physical Ranged, and Magical Ranged. This is a FACT. You have no power to dismiss, when you are consistently wrong

If you think BRD and DNC are the same DPS class as SAM and even MCH, there's nothing more to say as you're past delusional. Back to ignoring you as you contribute nothing of value to anyone, ever.

LOL. WHAT?!?!
That was not what was said AT ALL! It was said that there's only 3 types of DPS! OMG!
There's no such thing as SUPPORT DPS. Some DPS may have some support skills but that does not make them "Support DPS"

Melee, and melee's bitch. I will excuse your misknowings this time.

I'll help you there:
SQEX officially categorized MCH as pure DPS and Dancer as a support DPS.
The same way they categorized SAM and BLM as pure DPS.

This happened during the job change liveletter for Shadowbringer.
And those categories are as old as HW where MCH and BRD where support DPS, MNK was considered a pure DPS.

I'm sure by SE textbook definition any "support dps" is a dps who brings any sort of offensive utility to the raid. Mug, Brotherhood, Battle Lit, Embolden, Etc.

Also despite melee having 2 more jobs in their role, each unique damage role still has 1 "pure" dps, SAM, MCH, BLM.

Yep, which is why I think it would be good to further categorize "support DPS" because there's some jobs like BRD and DNC that offer much more raid damage support than MNK, for example, and seems silly to classify them into the same "role."
