The two minute burst 'meta' really has nothing to do with it. RPR's damage is largely dependent on correctly setting up burst windows. If you wanted to take that away you might as well just play SAM and do significantly more damage for significantly less effort (well, you can do that now anyways). No, the reason why we're doing less damage is because we've kept largely quiet while vastly more popular jobs have mouthed off about job difficulty despite having no basis for their claims. They really just need to forcibly dethrone SAM and rebalance dps jobs across the board, regardless of whatever preconceptions the playerbase has built up to this point. But this is just going to continue if you're willing to put up with it.
