You are right on that,
but DPS is really depending on different dungeons/events

For Titan as example, BLM can have lower DPS sometimes due to there are so many things you have to dodge during the fight, and Bard can have the higher damage because they can attack from anywhere during the battle and while dodging the moves.


my intention of this post was based on, dont judge someone based on their gear/dps, some fights are situational, so it really depends on player's skill instead of their gear.
if a player with godly gear but doesnt have the skill, it is slowing down the team. Dead man has no DPS

I was in a Titan fight once and my LS mate accused me for having only AK gear with Ifrit weapon +30 VIT status is a dead weight,and saying that I wont be able to do 60% of another Monk's damage (fully geared with DL and Relic)
but but they all died on the second wave after the heart phase because they dont know how to run away from the moves excepted me
