It takes actually doing the fight to see what particular nuances of the fight design mean for the highest possible dps.
what's theoretically possible is what's realistically possible in many, many fights because so many fights are literal dummies

Can't some of the big brain math wizards calc out the highest realistic possible dps for each class? Logs are going to have issues with stat padders, people with different team comps, some people underperforming and just general inconsistencies.
how are you going to pad tank other than just playing well.....
