RE: scores, you're misinterpreting the way fflogs presents normalized scores. The scores are not the actual DPS amounts.

If you look at the actual DPS amounts for 90th percentiles, in 7.05 BLM is at 27.42k rDPS and PCT is at 28.92k rDPS. Then if you look at patch 7.1, BLM is at 27.47k rDPS and PCT is at 27.37k rDPS.

Now I think we can all agree that PCT didn't actually get nerfed in 7.1, so once again I have to question why we're bothering to look at 7.1 patch data.
Because if PCT’s skill went down then BLM did as well

You are basically saying “PCT didn’t get nerfed so ignore 7.1” then ignore 7.1 buffed BLM. There is no reason to believe that PCT went proportionally down while BLM didn’t

So you can increase PCT’s 7.1 score back to its 7.05 score but you also have to proportionally increase BLM’s score which still puts BLM ahead because the same lower skilled players are playing BLM and PCT in 7.1

That’s why it’s normalised score is higher
