How much difference in damage should the tanks have?

[Melethron123]

"Very easy?" that's pretty much incorrect, While Ninja and Dragoon perform similary, do keep in mind that not every melee dps is even in a similar spot, also when you take into account other fights Ninja/dragoon actually have a lot of different performences. It's clearly not "very easy" to balance the game fully while also making everyjob have a Different rotation.

in every fight of the current savage the biggest difference between DRG and NIN is about 300dps, which is around 2%. compare that to the 11% difference between war and drk and tell me they couldn't possibly make it better

whoever is in charge of tank balance seems to be tuning the numbers around rDPS instead of aDPS. either that or they intentionally want DRK to have much higher dmg than the others (even GNB isn't THAT much of a difference, at around 5%. could be better, but DRK is the clear outlier in terms of tank dmg)
