Let's redefine "damage taxes"

[FireMage]

DNC and BRD bring raid utility, MCH does not.......making MCH do less dmg than them because its "easier" to play is literally the dumbest idea in the world. Thank God you're not a game developer.

DNC and BRD are also harder than MCH. Being lower satisfies proper balance and being close in potential satisfies viability. Imagine crying "utility" over Curing Waltz/Minne/Paean

The difference between having a dance partner or not having one on my samurai is literally night and day....MCH doesn't bring that to the table. And for the record, neither dnc or brd are even remotely difficult to play. I'd put them in the same difficulty range as MCH, so again, basing damage on "difficulty" is beyond stupid. You don't make a pure dps job do less damage than the support jobs because of "difficulty." MCH gets excluded from PF's significantly as it is. Your idea would outright make them banned from any group because there would be zero reason to ever allow them in any group when you could bring a dnc or brd who not only do more dps but also bring raid utility.

Seriously, do you even play this game? I think I take back what I've said before about you. You're not misinformed, you actually are just a troll. There is no way you actually believe the crap you're spouting out.

By FireMage's royal decree Machinist and Summoner must needs be deleted posthaste.

For real, by his trolling logic those two jobs may as well not exist.

I'm also gonna also utilize a completely arbitrary way to measure difficulty, Casts Per Minute.
Therefore Redmage should be at the bottom and below MCH in all dps metrics.
In fact, AST should get Verraise now because why not, they are harder using the CPM difficulty methodology.
This cannot be refuted, this is a fact, RDM is slow therefore easy.
