WHM should be hitting as hard as SGE, why isn't it?

SMN should be hitting as hard as PCT.

SMN should be hitting as hard as PCT.

PCT is an actual class, SMN is a healer without heals

Healers loose DPS when they heal at full power.
Tanks don't loose DPS when they mitigate at full power.

Because of that, I quite agree Healers should DPS as hard as tank but in the same time, I believe they should be more occupied with healing than they are now so they can't DPS all the time.

Pretty much.
Tanks and Healers should be equal in terms of raw damage output, the only difference to actual DPS output should be that Healers have to occasionally stop doing damage and do their intended job.


But as things currently exist in the state of complete lack of balanced caused by abandonment by the devs, Healers have much lower damage...

Here, don't tahnk me

I'm serious.
In term of damage it should be BLM - RDM - PCT/SMN.... And this for good reason
BLM is the offense specialist of the Magical DPS, RDM is the one taking risk by going into melee range.
The two other have mobility, personal shield and one have a heal and the other can prep his big hitting spell outside of battle.
