Thanks for the input Seobit. However, I excluded raging strikes and contagion on purpose.
The goal was to show a baseline of SCH <-> SMN in a skillset.

Basically you compare a SCH WITH his Crossclass Skills with a SMN WITHOUT his Crossclass skills AND his pet to show a baseline of SCH <-> SMN?

If you dont include RS and Garuda you cant include CS, thats stupid, sorry

edit: if you bane extended Dots from garuda you will get even higher dps rates because SMN can ruin / ice II spam even longer and uses less aeatherstacks than the SCH. Aero isnt spread by Bane so you need to cast it on every other mob bevor you can even start aoe'ing

The idea is nice but you miss way to much things about SMN and cant compare them because of that.

Things like Garuda on Obey deals more dmg than Garuda on Sic
Extendend Dots allow you to cast more Ruins without recasting your dots
Extended dots together with bane is way more powerfull than SCH normal dots bane'd
SCH deals way less dmg in big mob groups because of Enkindle and Garudas AoE attack
You ignored the fact that SMN has 2 pet buffs wich increases the pet dmg even more, SCH cant use even 1 of these buffs for DPS
Raging Strike + Extended Dots + Bane = Untouchable for SCH in terms of DPS
SCH is missing a lot in ACC because they focus more on PIE, turn 5 you are a useless DPS because you cant hit anything

You just cant compare them 1on1, you try to dps with a class made for healing...thats like i would use my BLM for healing because i have unlimited Mana.
If you really want to compare them, then use both of them to the full potential and not 90% SCH against 50% SMN and be like "SCH is the better dps because he deals the same dmg as a 50% SMN"
