Let's redefine "damage taxes"

I'd be tempted to argue with you, but your statements are so intellectually dishonest that I'll just settle for calling you a filibuster.

How can factual statements be intellectually dishonest?

How can factual statements be intellectually dishonest?

Opinions ≠ factual statements.

Or they could properly balance the Jobs and MCH would only do ~1% less than BRD/DNC

Why should MCH do less than DNC/BRD? In what world is that ok? MCH doesn't bring any raid benefits to the table...they are literally a pure dps job. If they were within 1% of DNC and BRD there would be ZERO reason to take a MCH into the group.

Precisely, I'm not stating my opinion, I'm stating facts

You're stating poor opinions.

Selfish DPS or not is irrelevant. rDPS is your DPS, the only difference is that you need to worry about other people pushing buttons for it, but in a high end setting that's a non factor. MCH being at practically the top would do nothing but spit on every other Job given it's sheer amount of ease of play. It belongs at the bottom with SMN, which again would with proper balance still be viable because ~5% from top to bottom isn't a big deal and would be better balance than we've ever had
