On the other hand, I have Ifrit weapon only and it's often hard to keep up with relic DD who have different focus. E.g. BLM+WHM doing AoE while the DRG is unloading on the kill target.
Relic doesn't mean we're suddenly doing high dps, but it does mean the DDs can be at their max potential.
In the end it's SE's fault for forcing iLv90 people to run iLv55 content, though. There wouldn't have been a problem if WP/AK/CM had item-level syncs.
Lately there are a lot of Relic DDs who would edge forward and forward towards a pack of trash while the healer is still 50m away, and end up body-pulling the pack. Invariably these type of people will immediately go to town on the mobs without waiting for me to pick up. Yes it does happen even in WP/AK.
